The Exiles at Home

<p>The Conroy sisters are back! In Hilary Mckay's second book in The Exiles series, <i>The Exiles at Home,</i> the four delightfully troublesome siblings manage to get themselves into yet more mischief.</p><p>When Ruth Conroy decides to sponsor a child in Africa, she is unprepared for the monthly monetary commitment and is shocked by how difficult it is to find £10 a month . . . In desperation, she enlists the help of her sisters – but Phoebe, Naomi and Rachel are only too eager to think up eccentric fundraising schemes, including wholly undisciplined and unsuitable baby-sitters, an unhygienic catering service and a fraudulent street artist. Whatever the scheme, their hilarious projects never fail to cause chaos and mayhem.</p>
