The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Ann Brashares
Well, this is actually more of a young adult book than a kid's book, but i'm not ready to seperate categories yet. The Dodds gave this to me for a birthday gift, and it's fantastic! Mere has been telling me about it for a while, and it was even better than i expected - even though the sisterhood things everything about how i wear my jeans is unforgivably tacky. ;) (i double-cuff mine, and i wear them with a belt & my tshirt tucked in!) The pants follow four best friends through their respective adventures during the summer between their sophomore and junior years of high school. Both thoughtful and funny, with themes all over the map (in a good way!), i would highly recommend this book. I bet Allison would like it.

Omg everyone who ever reads this comment must read the book. Laura, I liked the ending with Lena! It is the best series ever, and I am expecting a third book, I hope! ;-) A-hem... Anyhow, this is so good, and I can relate to the characters, in my case, Bee, but you have to read it, and if you don't, you are missing out on the best book ever!

Kay, seriously, I LOVED this book! It was sooooo great to read and I really hope that she writes more books for the series. I would love to see where the girls end up in college (if all of them go). I want this book to be made into a movie so much! It would be great! If it is, I wanna try out! LOL! Like I would actually make it! I'd just be happy to watch it! FANTASTIC BOOKS!!!

The second book was so sad. I was sitting there crying, bawling my eyes out like I was Lena and all of that was happening to me. These books really let you connect with the characters. I can't wait for #3. (Hint: I've heard that Bee might reconnect with Eric, the soccer coach!)

Hey,
I totally LOVED the first and second book. I felt so bad for Lena, I cried. But I'm glad she meet paul. The second is as good as the first, maybe even better!

I CAN'T WAIT TILL THE 3RD BOOK! I think Kostos is going to come back, and do a Eugine (lenas mom, its in the 2nd book).

My friends and i loved this book because it was so easy to relate to the characters and what they were going through in both books. It would also make an awsome movie that I'm sure eveyone would love to go see filled with comedy, action, and romance all at the same time.

These are my fav books EVER!! I've been bugging and bugging the few ppl I know that haven't read them to go out and buy them!! My 4 best buds and I have each picked out whos who lol. If you haven't read these books, READ THEM! You are missing out on alot! There had better be a 3rd book.. and something better happen to Kostos >:l I am Maaaad at that kid!

I can't wait for the third book. I read an interview with Ann Brashares.

"Next summer will be the girls’ last before they split up to go to college. That’s going to be a big deal for them. I suspect Tibby is going to fall in love for the first time. I have a feeling Bridget might encounter Eric, the soccer coach, again. I have a few other plans up my sleeve, but I think I better keep them secret."

And I bet they all will have some bit of things going on concerning guys:
Bridgette had the starting of something with Billy, but since it's long distance and a lot of time has passed, it may not have worked out. Seeing Eric will undoubtebly have a BIG effect on her.
Lena's still going to be hurt by Kostos, but it will be almost a year so I'm sure she's gotten better with the help of her friends. Since she was still hung up over Kostos when she met Paul, it might take awhile for them to get together. They probably stayed friends at first. With Kostos, I don't think he's going to bother her. He knows there's no chance of them getting back together (with him being married and all) and he probably knows that hanging around will make it harder for her to move on and it will just prolonge their pain.
Carmen and Porter broke up at the end of the last book, but it was just when Carmen started really paying attention to him. My guess is the'll end up being good friends, and maybe try dating again.
Tibby will most likely end up with Brian. (The name might be wrong, I have to read the books again. Everybody has my copies. But he's her friend from both books and the first guy she interviewed for her suckumentary.)

I'm kind of worried about them making a movie out of this book. I have a hard time with any movie made out of a book I've read. They tend to screw things up. But it might turn out really good, who knows? I am kinda nervous about their choice of cast though.
-Cast:
Blake Lively- Bridgette
Jenna Boyd- Baily (Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star)
Amber Tamblyn- Tibby (Joan of Arcadia)
Alexis Bledel- Lena (Gilmore Girls)
America Ferrara- Carmen (Real Women Have Curves)
-
But with every book, you have your own idea of the characters. I wonder who's going to play the guys.

Post any guesses you have about upcoming books!

Im just so happy there will be a third book! Can't wait. Does she write it right now? Well, then it can take a while before I can read it. I hate Kostos! Did he really have to marry that stupid girl..?
