I enjoyed this middle elementary level chapter book sequel to The Lemonade War.  Each chapter was titled with a legal term related to the progression of the story line.  The main characters are 4th grade students (which is perfect for AR level 4.5) who suspect a classmate of stealing over $200 from another classmate’s shorts pocket while they were all off swimming.  They decide to have a trial on the playground and planned extensively for it.  Although the defendant was not found guilty, the main characters learned a lot about friendship and the deception of appearances.  The story does resolve well with the money returned and significant character development.  I read this book quickly because I wanted to keep reading.  It is very appropriate for grades 3 – 5 and I will recommend it to my students.
