The Lemonade Club

The story centers on best friends Traci and Marilyn, who thrive in their supportive fifth-grade class until Marilyn's health declines due to leukemia. As she faces the challenges of chemotherapy, Traci and their teacher, Miss Wichelman, rally around her. In a heartwarming twist, the entire class unites to show their support, embodying the theme of resilience and friendship. True to Polacco's style, the narrative transforms adversity into a celebration of life and community.
