For those of you who as teenagers, or tweens, picked up the traveling pants novels and fell in love with Tibby, Carmen, Lena, and Bee then your in for a big surprise; the girls are back! Ann Brashares has written a fantastic novel set a decade after the last in the traveling pants series, Forever in Blue, that answers questions like what happened when they lost the pants? and did they grow up? If you're looking for a good read this summer, and aren't afraid for a little tear shed, then this will fulfill your need.
Ultimately this book brings the girls back together again, maybe bringing them closer to each other than ever before. You will see that in ways none of them has really grown up even though a decade has past but by the end of the novel I think they are able to truly move on from being children and actually be adults. There are pregnancies, babies, a death, and a lot of traveling (both physically and mentally) in this book that will keep you reading till the end.
