Product Description

Review

'I can't think of a girl aged between eight and eighteen who wouldn't enjoy this little gem of a book.'

(Jill Murphy, The Bookbag )

'The characters are beautifully developed ... recorded with such humour and sensitivity that it is an engrossing, sometimes laugh-out-loud story.'

 

(Write Away )

'McKay has created a boisterous, chaotic family which always makes me want to rush out and adopt three sisters.' (TES )

PRAISE FOR THE CASSON FAMILY BOOKS:
'Hilary McKay's wittily observed portrayals of family life are full of warmth, vitality and irrepressible good humour.'

(Kate Agnew, The Guardian )

'McKay has a genius for domestic comedy.' (The Sunday Times )

'Hilary McKay's strength lies in her understanding of young people and her ability to evoke them very simply.' (The Guardian ) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Product Description

A collection of three novels: "The Exiles"; "The Exiles at Home"; and "The Exiles in Love". The four irrepressible sisters, Ruth, Naomi, Rachel and Phoebe, are sent to their grandmother's house for the holidays. Wild antics and misadventures follow. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Format:Paperback
This book may seem from its description to be just another childrens book, that is VERY, VERY wrong. This book captivates me more than even Harry Potter or one of John Irvings better books, for example `The world according to Garp`. The characters in this book have everything that you could want in entertainment, and although from the blurb their adventures may seem childish, they are written with a sophisticated wit that will bring tears to your eyes.

YAY 12 Mar 2004
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
i related entirely with this book as i have spent many summers with my sister in my back garden in Lincolshire with nothing to do and have been sent to grandmas by the sea, although the book is not perhaps as long as i would like it to be, ideally it should be a never ending story, the twists and turns throughout the book , the dog food, does grandma really have books or not, why is graham hanging around all the time and why you must never open a door onto a fire or leave a burning candle unattended really add to the story and add an educational thing which i have never forgotten in a non patronising and deadly serious background
I loved this book and will be handing it out on the streets to everyone i meet, funny yet gripping its one of the best books i read before the age of 10

Yay!! A Great Book 7 Mar 2004
Format:Paperback
4 sisters are sent to stay with their grandmother whilst their house is being redecorated. The sisters love to read but as soon as grandma hears they are coming she locks all her books away and the sisters have to find other ways of having fun and coursing havoc!
I really enjoyed this book; it was really funny and clever. I like the way the story has a sudden twist at the begining then twists back towards the end. This book is quite hard going but very enjoyable!!!! You must read it!!!
