Ah, it’s summer and fifteen-year-old Dave and his buddies, Victor and Curtis, are going to have a summer of absolute freedom. Swimming, biking, relaxing, and watching TV are the only items on their agenda. But when their parents force the boys to get summer jobs, they decide to get “fake” jobs and spend the summer having fun. There’s just one small problem—their parents expect to see paychecks. In a series of hilarious and entertaining get-rich-quick schemes, the boys plot, plan, and end up working their butts off all in the name of “project sweet life”. (Grades 6 & up)
