The Great Lemonade Stand Standoff by Art Rainer



Here is the book summary:
When Jake, Sophia, and Brody slide down the tube slide at their local park, they are shocked to find themselves in an underground headquarters and transformed into Secret Slide Money Club agents. Soon the friends learn that they’re in an ongoing battle against Albatross, a selfish villain who uses bad money choices to turn other kids into Albies. The agents must help the Albies get free of Albatross’s reach and start to make good money choices—all while going on some ridiculous new adventures. 

In this first book in the series, the three friends must help a classmate raise money for their school. But when the Albies try to crash the agents’ lemonade stand, it’s time to launch some lemons while learning a lesson in giving.

The Secret Slide Money Club is a unique early-reader fiction series that uses humor and adventure to teach children the foundational principles of financial health—Give, Save, Live. This first trio of books is quick-paced, offering tons of silliness and action while showing young readers about God's way to be wise with money. 

And now, my review:
We found The Great Lemonade Stand Standoff by Art Rainer to be inspirational, laugh-out-loud funny.  One of the characters wore a tie on his head.  Some parts were gross and had us squealing.  In this 10-chapter book the premise is 2 Corinthians 9:7 that speaks on giving cheerfully.   The give, save, live pattern is a great goal in life.  It taught the importance of how you use your money.  It is inspiring readers to look and meet needs around them.  There’s good guys and bad guys and it’s a fun way to share a concept through a fictional venue.  My kids loved the rocket car and illustrations.  This is book 1 and we plan to read more in this series.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
