It took the subject of a pair of magical jeans and was able to continue the storyline without making it seem too corny. The girls spent another summer learning about themselves and each other in the process and I liked how the author was able to keep the friendship between the girls strong even though they hardly spent any time together. ( ) cacv78 | Aug 14, 2009 | Although I liked the first book in the series, I loved the second book, as I found it far more relatable. The girls deal with a lot of the loss of innocence that was on the horizon in the end of the first book. (  ) gaialover2 | Jun 22, 2009 | AWESOME just as good if not better than the first book!!!!

Amazon.com (ISBN 0385729340, Hardcover)Teens who loved Ann Brashares's The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2001) will cheer its equally riveting sequel The Second Summer of the Sisterhood. As in the first novel, four teen girls who have known each other since birth (their moms shared a pregnancy aerobics class) further forge their bond of friendship through a pair of thrift-store jeans that magically, impossibly, fits them all perfectly.Like the summer before, Carmen, Bridget, Tibby, and Lena share their individual adventures with the Pants collective, creating an engaging, kaleidoscopic narrative of four voices. This summer, Tibby attends a film program in Virginia and Bridget (Bee), whose mother has died, impulsively jets off to Alabama to get reacquainted with her estranged grandmother. Lovely Lena tries to protect herself from the heartbreak of loving her long-distance Greek god boyfriend Kostos, and Carmen deals (poorly) with her mother dating again and having the nerve to borrow the Pants! The Second Summer, while breezy and fun to read, deals seriously with love lost and found, death, and finding the courage to live honestly. The teens' lessons are often painful, but the Sisterhood prevails. Quotations from luminaries such as Charlie Brown ("Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love") to Nelson Mandela ("There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered") open each chapter and cleverly reflect the novel's many moods.

Violence: None
Swearing: I think there were a few in the book.
Drinking, Drugs, Smoking: Don't remember.
Age Appropriate: I read this when I was 16 and I wished I hadn't. I read the whole series waiting for it to redeem itself and it never did. There are premarital situations in each book.
