Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood (Sisterhood of Traveling Pants)
Ann Brashares has created a wonderful, heartfelt series for teens (and adults) around a pair of pants. In her breakout bestseller, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Brashares introduced readers to four girls, Lena, Bridget, Carmen, and Tibby, and to the magical pair of jeans that fit them all perfectly, and inspired them to live their young lives to the fullest. Forever in Blue, the fourth and final novel in the series, promises a dazzling finale--one "last glorious summer" for the four girls, and their fans. See a note from author Ann Brashares, below. --Daphne Durham
A Note from Ann Brashares December 1, 2006 Dear Amazon Reader, Well, here we are together again. If you are getting ready to read the fourth book, Forever in Blue, that means we've probably spent some time together. I hope you've enjoyed it. I know I have. We don't know each other and we may never get to meet, but I feel like we are connected nonetheless. We've spent time with four fictional girls together. We've puzzled over their lives and their choices. We've rooted for them and sometimes felt annoyed by them. We've shared some hopes for them, I think, and in the process for ourselves. So thank you for being part of the sisterhood with me. I have really appreciated your company along the way. Happy reading, Ann Spend Time with the Sisterhood Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Boxed Set |  Girls in Pants |  The Second Summer of the Sisterhood |  The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants |
