Overview

Bigger siblings are such a pain. They're always bossing us around and messing up our ideas. This time, I'm going to do things my way... Pennywood was a small town and very hot in the summer. For young Cookie and her friend Billy, the summers were pretty boring too. Only thoughts of dipping into a refreshing, cool swimming pool could bring relief to their summer days. Cookie wanted to help her family purchase a small pool, but she is too young and there is no way to make the money. Or is there? Cookie is an artist and an imaginative soul. She comes up with a brilliant idea-make lemonade stand and sell drinks to make a profit off the scorching heat. While Billy is on board with the idea, Cookie's bossy big sister Skootie always has to take charge. Skootie discovers the plans and demands to be let in on the profits. After all, Billy and Cookie aren't able to do everything themselves, and Skootie could offer them some of the help they really need. Too bad Skootie is more into texting and getting online than helping with anything. When Skootie begins bossing them around instead of working on the stand, Cookie uses her intelligence to get back at her older sister. Unfortunately, Skootie is also clever, and she tries to turn the business into an opportunity to knock Cookie back down into her place. Skootie has to protect her cool reputation, and there's no way she's going to let her little sister make her look bad. She comes up with a plan to ruin the business once and for all. Will Skootie's plans to sabotage the business stop the two friends from achieving their swimming pool dreams, or will they find a way to prevail? Find out in this light-hearted tale that celebrates creativity and hard work while exploring sibling rivalry and believing in yourself.
