About the Book



The four Conroy sisters' efforts to raise money in order to sponsor a ten-year-old boy in Africa get them into one difficult situation after another.



Book Synopsis



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.
