The Quigleys are short of money. The kids try to take things into their own hands and sale lots of things. However, when the parents find out about the things, they end up stopping it. (In some cases, the kids even have to get things back, often causing them to lose money.) At the end, the family's house is about to be sold. The kids honestly tell the prospective buyers about all the faults and potential issues with the sale and they back down. I liked this better than the first Quigley book.
