Can't wait for the next installment of the Pants? Check out the SPECIAL EDITION of The Second Summer of the Sisterhood, in stores now!
Inside you'll find an exclusive "Who's Your Soul Mate Quiz" and a sneak peak at the third book, Girls in Pants.

With a bit of last summer's sand in the pockets, the Traveling Pants and the Sisterhood that wears them embark on their 16th summer.

Bridget: Impulsively sets off for Alabama, wanting to both confront her demons about her family and avoid them all at once.

Lena: Spends a blissful week with Kostos, making the unexplainable silence that follows his visit even more painful.

Carmen: Is concerned that her mother is making a fool of herself over a man. When she discovers that her mother borrowed the Pants to wear on a date, she's certain of it.

Tibby: Not about to spend another summer working at Wallman's, she takes a film course only to find it's what happens off-camera that teaches her the most.

Product Description

From Amazon

Teens who loved Ann Brashares's The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2001) will cheer its equally riveting sequel The Second Summer of the Sisterhood. As in the first novel, four teen girls who have known each other since birth (their moms shared a pregnancy aerobics class) further forge their bond of friendship through a pair of thrift-store jeans that magically, impossibly, fits them all perfectly.

Like the summer before, Carmen, Bridget, Tibby, and Lena share their individual adventures with the Pants collective, creating an engaging, kaleidoscopic narrative of four voices. This summer, Tibby attends a film program in Virginia and Bridget (Bee), whose mother has died, impulsively jets off to Alabama to get reacquainted with her estranged grandmother. Lovely Lena tries to protect herself from the heartbreak of loving her long-distance Greek god boyfriend Kostos, and Carmen deals (poorly) with her mother dating again and having the nerve to borrow the Pants!

The Second Summer, while breezy and fun to read, deals seriously with love lost and found, death, and finding the courage to live honestly. The teens' lessons are often painful, but the Sisterhood prevails. Quotations from luminaries such as Charlie Brown ("Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love") to Nelson Mandela ("There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered") open each chapter and cleverly reflect the novel's many moods. (Ages 12 and older) --Karin Snelson --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

From School Library Journal

Grade 8 Up-Carmen, Lena, Tibby, and Bee are back in this long, engaging sequel to The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (Delacorte, 2001). The four best friends are beginning their 16th summer with new expectations for personal growth, romance, and deepening friendship, all enhanced by the magic of a shared pair of thrift-store jeans. Brashares has deftly interwoven the story's strands to convey the relaxed intimacy of the girls' friendships as well as the many parallels in their individual experiences. The dialogue is natural and helps build nuances of character; the use of metaphor and insightful language renders a narrative that is highly readable and marked by emotional truth. Bee, whose mother died when she was 11, heads to Alabama under an assumed name to visit her estranged maternal grandmother. Carmen and Lena both become entangled in emotional spats with their mothers, and Tibby makes an edgy documentary film about her mother for a screenwriting course. This is a summer for coming-of-age, and for people materializing out of the blue, but making an impact-Tibby's old friend Brian appears unbidden at her dorm; Lena's Greek boyfriend, Kostos, arrives suddenly; and Carmen's stepsister comes seeking sanctuary. Meanwhile, the traveling pants are circulated among the friends. It may just be the power of wonder, but the jeans undoubtedly play a role in the happy resolution of this big-hearted, complex tale of living, learning, and caring. Brashares's novel can be enjoyed by readers who have not yet discovered the previous book. It is certain to delight those readers who have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep churning out those sequels! July 8 2003
By Me, Myself, and I
Format:Hardcover
SISTERHOOD was great, and I read it (and it's pretty thick) in one sitting through eyes droopy from lack of sleep. It's a rare thing when a book can alternately make you laugh or cry. It's a rare thing when a sequel can maintain the steam of the first. It's a rare thing when an author can string words together that make you go, "Wow! She can WRITE!!"

Ann Brashares has pulled off all of the above. SISTERHOOD, like TRAVELING PANTS before it, maintained 4 distinct voices thoughout. Each story within the story was fully developed and absorbing and had a point. The reader (at least this one) very much cares about what happens to all of the characters in the book. The reader never wants the book to end!

I also very much appreciate how Brashares portrays the sexual relationships (or near one in SISTERHOOD) with dignity and responsibility. Almost every YA book out there without exception paints teen sex as exciting and irresistable and without consequences. Brashares makes the point that teen sex may be out there, but it's not something to be taken lightly. It leaves a certain type of scar, and the bearer of that scar will really never be the person she once was before she had the experience -- whether the experience was good or bad. Brashares treats sex as the grown up, mature thing that it is meant to be. YA's need more books available to them that reflect this view.

Well, I can't wait until next summer (or maybe sooner? Please?) to spend another sleepless night with an Ann Brashares "sisterhood" book under my booklight.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love This Aug 31 2005
By Em
Format:Paperback
This is a very well written novel for teen girls that is very in tune to what teens are actually like, not just the wishy washy nonsense about teen girls. A true winner and a great novel for any girl, young or old.
