Title: Girls in Pants: The Third Summer of the Sisterhood
Author: Ann Brashares
type of book: YA Fiction
call number: YA/FIC
|
This book is strong in character and story.
Summary:
The four lifetime friends have graduated high school and it is now their last
summer together before college, adulthood, and big life changes. Tibby (the
viewpoint this time) finds out that Brian has turned into a hottie and likes her
more than a friend. She isn't sure how to handle this, especially since she
treasures their close friendship. Lena finds her artistic voice by taking a
drawing class to prepare for art school, even though her father strongly
dislikes her career choice. Also, she is trying to overcome the heartbreak of
Kostos. Bee is back at soccer camp but this time as a staff/coach. She is
reunited with Eric (from book one) who is also back coaching. They start over
as friends since he has a girlfriend, but their attraction and caring for each
other is still strong. Finally Carmen's mother announces she is pregnant with
her new husband's baby. Now another person is coming between Carmen and her
mother. She isn't so sure she wants to go to the college of her dreams and be
forgotten. She also meets "Win" a good looking student who attends a college
very close to her dream college.
I would recommend this book!
Why?
These books (all three) are fabulous. They are well-written, have
extremely real characters whom readers will identify with and adore. Their
adventures each summer (for work, school, family, travel, or boyfriend) are
exciting to read about. Their close bonds as friends are heartwarming. These
are must reads, especially since book one is the basis for a movie due to be released this year.
