From School Library Journal:

Grade 7-9 Jake Callahan, a Pine Valley High senior, finds himself in charge of a group of six fellow students (three Dudes and three Dudettes) who are be ing housed at the Scenic-Vu Motel be cause the daily three-hour round trip to school from their homes in remote Bear Flats is impractical. He plunges into a total immersion project in Motel Man agement, cajoling the others into fol lowing his two rules (``1. Study hard. 2. Have fun.'') and learning to cooperate. He wins over the skeptical motel own er, holds the line against junk food, and motivates all six of his charges to make the honor roll in his efforts to boost the Bear Flatters' image. The story unfolds through entries from Jake's journal for English class, which aptly convey the frustrations and surprises of this bi zarre senior year. While events are pre dictable, the Bear Flatters' escapades and the fresh story line will hold the interest of readers seeking an amusing, fast-paced book. Merilyn S.
