Three friends, instructed by their fathers to find summer jobs, instead concoct "Project Sweet Life." This means finding a quick way to earn money, then pretending to be working while enjoying the "absolute freedom" their summer should rightfully entail. The boys' friendship, expertly depicted, drives the book. Their smartly plotted moneymaking schemes are creative, hijinks-filled, and hilariously almost effective.
