The Sisterhood Grows

De: Ann Brashares

Narrado por: Kimberly Farr

In this follow-up novel to the #1 New York Times bestselling Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, it's time to discover a new sisterhood. A story of growing up, friendship, and understanding yourself, about three girls enjoying one last summer before high school.

summer is a time to grow

seeds
Polly has an idea that she can't stop thinking about, one that involves changing a few things about herself. She's setting her sights on a more glamorous life, but it's going to take all of her focus. At least that way she won't have to watch her friends moving so far ahead.

roots
Jo is spending the summer at her family's beach house, working as a busgirl and bonding with the older, cooler girls she'll see at high school come September. She didn't count on a brief fling with a cute boy changing her entire summer. Or feeling embarrassed by her middle school friends. And she didn't count on her family at all. . .

leaves
Ama is not an outdoorsy girl. She wanted to be at an academic camp, doing research in an air-conditioned library, earning A's. Instead her summer scholarship lands her on a wilderness trip full of flirting teenagers, blisters, impossible hiking trails, and a sad lack of hair products.

A little bit odd…

It feels odd for this to be put as if it is a book within “The Sisterhood”. I do appreciate that it exists in the same world. The little connections are fun. However, it feels kind of odd to be put within the series. Seems like it could’ve been a stand alone, but advertised as within the same world.
It’s also a bit sad that the author hasn’t came back to these girls and written anymore about them. This was written in 2009, and I am reading this in 2024.
Also, not the authors fault at all- but the sound at the start of the new chapters is awful!

and after the Traveling Pants

Who the heck came up with the chapter breaks...HORRIBLE with ear buds in your ears in the quiet! It was a bit distracting from a continuation of the Sisters once removed.
