"Outside of a dog, reading is truly man's best friend. Inside of a dog, there's not enough light to read." - Groucho Marx
 

Lemon & Ice & Everything Nice is a math fiction book.  Math fiction means that the characters use math skills to solve a problem.  In this story, Chelle and Ming are selling lemonade, but no one is buying.   Perhaps it’s because it’s as expensive as gold?  But they have to make $5.00, and what could be easier than selling one glass of lemonade.  Maybe they ought to try selling 5 glasses for $1.00 each, or 10 glasses for $.50.  Find out how Chelle and Ming reach their money-making goal with a little ingenuity and a lot of sales.
