Publisher Description

In this follow-up novel to the #1 New York Times bestselling Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, it's time to discover a new sisterhood. A story of growing up, friendship, and understanding yourself, about three girls enjoying one last summer before high school. summer is a time to grow seeds Polly has an idea that she can't stop thinking about, one that involves changing a few things about herself. She's setting her sights on a more glamorous life, but it's going to take all of her focus. At least that way she won't have to watch her friends moving so far ahead. roots Jo is spending the summer at her family's beach house, working as a busgirl and bonding with the older, cooler girls she'll see at high school come September. She didn't count on a brief fling with a cute boy changing her entire summer. Or feeling embarrassed by her middle school friends. And she didn't count on her family at all. . . leaves Ama is not an outdoorsy girl. She wanted to be at an academic camp, doing research in an air-conditioned library, earning A's. Instead her summer scholarship lands her on a wilderness trip full of flirting teenagers, blisters, impossible hiking trails, and a sad lack of hair products. “Brashares gets her characters’ emotions and interactions just right.” --Publishers Weekly "Like the previous Pants books, this one will travel from girl to girl." --Kirkus Reviews

"A bit too similar to the Sisterhood series, and I was less than pleased with Jo, one of the willows. I guess it was interesting to see the motives of someone who does hateful things to the people that love them the most. I was pleasantly surprised at how heavy, meaningful, the topics were. As always, Ann's style of writing is captivating and refreshing--just felt like a repeat of the Sisterhood."

    " This was a cute story, and I really liked how it mixed with the original sisterhood books, but it was a little to hop-around for me, and the ending seemed way too abrupt. "

    " Finally, a stupid easy read! From the author that brought us TRAVELLING PANTS, comes the next generation! Too bad, it's even lamer then the first batch. It's only three girls this time and they are already unravelling even before the story really begins. Girl #1 spends the summer working at the beach and she makes out with a guy who is the boyfriend of the sister of one of the girls from PANTS. Girl #2 is totally lost and wants to be a model and spends all her money on some modeling school or something. Girl #3 is the smarty pants of the group and gets accepted to some enrichment program, but they put her in the outdoorsie one, which of course, she hates. Ah, the time between jr and sr. high school when you think you know better then your parents. SO LAME. Which each girls story is totally lame, I do like that they get back together as friends in the end. Kill me already, if there are more books, I'll pick them up, already knowing that they are going to be lame. So is the story of my life. "

    " While this book was interesting, it took me a while to get in to. However, I really liked the little cameos that the characters from the sisterhood made (especially my man Brian!!) Once I got into the characters and their stories, did want to know what was going to happen and I think if Brashares continues to write about these characters, they will only get more interesting as they get older...

    " I think that since I haven't read the rest of the sisterhood books, I didn't get out of this book what I was hoping for. It's still a good read as the girls are all grown up and are learning to deal with love, and pain as the grow up and experience the changes that life brings for them. "

    " i didnt' like so many references to the previous books (sisterhood of traveling pants); it would have been enough on its own..didn't need all the connections. It made it sound too unrealistic. "
