In this part of the story an old lady takes credit for catching the robbery instead of the main character Dave and his friends who actually caught the robbers p. 77. Dave and his friends visit the mall, and saw they could win $10,000 if they guessed the right amount of jellybeans in a giant jar p.82. Dave had to actually go to Fircrest pool to act like he was working because his dad wanted to come visit his boss and co workers p. 94. It is overcast in the skies during this part of the story p.105. Dave and his friends make a plan to find treasure in the China Tunnels p.107.

The title Project Sweet Life means that someone is creating a project to have a sweet life. The author chose this title because the story has to do with someone making a project or plan to make their life better. The title is a literal meaning because the title implies that there is a project to have a sweet life so the title tells what the story is about. You can judge the book Project Sweet Life by its own cover.
