The Bell Bandit

Jacqueline Davies' The Lemonade War was praised for using subjects such as math and economics to create a "suspenseful, subtly educational plot that goes down as easily as a cool glass of lemonade in August" (Children's Literature). The third novel in the series starring 4th-grader Evan Treski and his smarty-pants younger sister, Jessie, follows the siblings as they try to solve the mystery of who stole the New Year's Bell from atop Lovell Hill.
