The Exiles At Home
The Exiles At Home | Hilary McKay
1 post | 1 to read
The second novel in the much-loved Exiles series and winner of the Smarties Prize. When Ruth Conroy decides to sponsor a child in Africa, she is unprepared for the difficulties involved in finding £10 a month. So she enlists the help of her sisters - Phoebe, Naomi and Rachel - who are only too eager to dream up hare-brained fund-raising schemes . . . Undisciplined baby-sitters, unhygienic caterers or fraudulent pavement artists, their hilarious projects never fail to cause chaos and mayhem.

While certainly not the last, this was the first book that I remember making me laugh out loud, pretty much every other page. I haven't read it in years, but even in high school I could pull it off my shelf and start giggling. Hope it's still in the libraries for children to find today! #augustphotochallenge #booksthatmadeyousmile
