Project Sweet Life

Project Sweet Life by Hartinger, Brent. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780060824112.

For most kids, fifteen is the year of the optional summer job: Sure, you can get a job if you really want one, but it isnt required or anything. Too bad Daves dad doesnt agree! Instead of enjoying long days of biking, swimming, and sitting around, Dave and his two best friends are being forced by their fathers into a summer of hard labor. The friends have something else in mind, though: Not only will they not work over the summer, but theyre determined to trick everyone into believing they really do have jobs. So what if the lifeguard doesnt have a tan or the fast-food worker isnt bringing home buckets of free chicken? Theres only one problem: Daves dad wants evidence that his son is actually bringing in money. And that means Dave, Curtis, and Victor will have to get some . . . without breaking the law and without doing any work! Project Sweet Life is designed for the funny and lazy bone in all of us—a true comedy of errors (without any effort!) from seasoned storyteller Brent Hartinger.
