SECOND SUMMER OF THE SISTERHOOD by Ann Brashares
The Second Summer of the Sisterhood by Ann Brashares is found on this year's summer reading list for students entering 8th grade.
Lena, Carmen, Bridget, and Tibby set off for new adventures this summer, and the Pants are with them. But, this summer is a little different from the last one. Lena is falling in love with Kostos all over again when he comes to America, but might get her heart broken when she finds out a secret about him. Carmen is holding a grudge against her mother, Christina, when she gets a new boyfriend. She thinks that Christina is making a complete fool of herself. Bridget leaves last year's summer romance behind and sets off to Alabama to find out about the past of her late mother, and Tibby goes to a college film program and figures out from Brian if people are real or phony.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO GIRLS AGES 13 AND UP, BECAUSE THIS NOVEL IS VERY REALISTIC (THESE CAN BE REAL TEENAGERS), AND TEENAGERS CAN RELATE THIS BOOK TO THEIR OWN LIVES VERY EASILY.
