Everything about this trip to Grandma’s house was different:

First, because of the fire, Mrs. Treski, Evan, and Jessie had driven up to Grandma’s two days after Christmas instead of the day before, missing Christmas with Grandma entirely.

Second, the fire had left a hole in the back kitchen wall big enough to drive a car through! And with Grandma in the hospital and not in her house, everything felt off.

Third, someone had climbed the long, slow slope of Lovell Hill to the top and had stolen the old iron bell hanging on its heavy wooden crossbeam.

Who on earth would steal the New Year’s Bell? And how could Grandma, Mrs.Treski, Evan, Jessie, and their neighbors ring in the New Year without it?

Like a modern-day Beverly Cleary, Ms. Davies writes with heart, humor, and honesty about the inevitability of profound change and reveals just how well she understands the complex emotions of the children.

This is a great book for all and you should definitely read this!

This book is great i love it!!!!!!!!!

Great book. I look and look though my libary but never find a good book. I was never pulled into a book as much as this one.

I agree with Charlotte. I loved all the books and they were all fabulous. Jacqueline Davis is a great author. In this book I would have to say my favorite part is when Maxwell throws the rock and runs away,leaving Jessie with the boys and then Evan comes along to help. Even did act wierder in this book. At some parts I was like huh? but the rest were opkay. I would recomend you to read this book. But definetly read the other 2 books in the Lemonade War because there just as awesome as this one. Next time if you have no other book to read,read 1 of Jacqueline Davis's books. I just love them and hopefully you will too.

I loved all the books. This one surprised me it was a mystery. Their grandma's house got lit on fire. The New's Year Eve Bell got stolen. Evan acted different in this book. I loved her friendship with Maxwell. The ending surprised me so much. Jacqueline Davies wrote another awesome book.
