The Magic Trap by Jacqueline Davies

3.0

In this fifth and final book in the Lemonade War Series, Jessie and Evan's father reappears in their life. Due to a series of unexpected events, he turns up at the perfect time to stay with them for a week while their mom travels for work. While Jessie is thrilled to have him home, Evan is less trusting. He is a war correspondent and rarely stays for more than a day or two. This time though, he seems to be making good on his word, helping Even learn magic tricks and supporting their attempts to put together a magic show for the whole neighborhood. No one expects a hurricane to change course, however, and there are serious repercussions for everyone. While this book does stand alone, I believe it will be enjoyed most by fans of the whole series. Recommended for grades 4-6.
