When the four Conroy daughters secretly sponsor a child in Africa, the results are both hilarious and moving. They're sorely challenged to come up with ten pounds a month to maintain their pledge. Narrator McKenzie is wonderful with the varied voices that make up this little comedy. She portrays old voices like Big Grandma's (who soon catches on to their plight), as well as each sister's, in a distinct way. McKenzie also does an outstanding job with the text. This tale handles the relationship between the children and a very old couple beautifully. Listeners of all ages who enjoy British and children's humor and outstanding vocal performances will love this title. S.G.B. An AUDIOFILE Earphones Award winner (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Hillary McKay returns with another hilarious and adventurous story of the four Conroy sisters as they come together to devise a plan helping Ruth sponsor a child in Africa. When Ruth Conroy decides to sponsor a child in Africa, she is unprepared for just how difficult it is to find ten pounds per month. As any sister's next step would be, Ruth enlists the help of Phoebe, Naomi, and Rachel. All too eager to help their sister, the four girls work together to come up with multiple hare-brained, fundraising schemes that are a bit too mischievous to be fruitful. From undisciplined babysitters to unhygienic caterers and fraudulent pavement artists, the Conroy sisters' hilarious projects never fail to cause chaos and mayhem.
