Labor Day weekend · The Great Lemonade Strike
Somebody has to work the stand. Lulu nominated herself.
Labor Day is supposed to be a day off for people who work. Lulu Lilly heard “work” and built a lemonade empire before anyone could explain the day-off part.
That is the energy of The Great Lemonade Strike, PJ King’s Labor Day chapter book for ages 6–9: bees, bosses, one very bad batch, and a girl who takes charge of a job nobody handed her.
She fired the cat. The cat did not even work there.
If you are packing a car for the last long weekend of summer, this is the chapter book for the back seat. If you are the adult who has to hear it read aloud, you already know a child who has fired someone who did not work there.
The story lives on the book page. The extras and free companion games live with the rest of Lulu’s house.
Happy Labor Day. Hydrate. Do not put the cat on payroll.
