I liked this book even better than the first Travelling Pants book. The stories of the girls' summers are engaging, and they all Learn From Their Experiences. This sounds like a boring requirement for young adult novels so that they may be used for book reports, but the character development is engagingly three-dimensional such that the girls' growing self-awareness draws the reader in. Great for young adults (if they're allowed PG-13) and old adults (who like mildly intelligent chick-lit and/or need something to read in the hospital after giving birth).

Kept me going. It was pretty good for a teen series. Simple read.

Un relato de cuatro amigas, de cuando la amistad y el amor no se mostraban por likes ni por redes, sino por estar presentes en momentos difíciles y divertidos.
Cada una viaja por su lado, pero un hilo las conecta siempre, y se mantienen al día con carta correspondencia sobre cómo están pasando su verano distanciadas.
Just fun lovely y entretenida.

I appreciated the first book more. This book follows the journey of the friends as they prepare for college. I think this book would be most enjoyable to teens and young adults. Those who are feeling nostalgic may find this a good read as well. I suggest reading the first book first.

Love love this book of girls sticking together.

[Anne Gafiuk · Rating 4 out of 5]

Brashares captures being a teenaged girl so well...and one's relationship as a teenager with their mother! Having been a teenaged girl and now a mom with two daughters, I am looking forward to reading the third and fourth books in the series.

The pants are back working their magic in"The Second Summer of the Sisterhood" the sequel to Ann Brashares best selling Sisterhood of the Travelling pants. I really enjoyed the book and found it impossible to put down, although it wasn't as fast paced as the first novel, the growth in the characters from both the last book and during the course of the summer is evident and makes it realistic, and allows young adult readers to grow with the characters as they face similar issues. Bridget is ready to face her demons regarding her mother's death, reuniting with her grandma and discovering secrets of her mothers past. Carmen has to deal with her mother dating the first man, who is not her father. Tibby still dealing with Bailey's death, has to work out what is more important her friend Brian and her family or her shallow film school buddies. While Lena deals with first heartbreak.


I love these characters, they could so easily be my friends, and they are so down to earth. I strongly reccommend this for all women young and old, these girls will reconnect you with your own memories of strong friendships and female bonds, but read the sisterhood of the travelling pants first.

The sisterhood of the traveling pants the second summer was really a continuous of the first book but everything's opposite at first bailey was alive Carmen's mother wasn't dating. Now she has to deal with a lot of different things like Lena and her first breakup with Kostos. Also with Bridget and her mother dying was really sad and now she starts to connect with her grandmother and sees her mothers past. Tibby in this book I see deals with a lot of emotions her friends , Brian and Bailey which was really devastating and her movies she is making. Carmen is starting to date while her mother is too which is making her a mad because it isn't her father. I think this sisterhood earned a 4/5 because they added a lot more thoughts and it really let us into what was happening on a one on one basis which what I really liked.

I can say that I am getting more and more into this series. At the beginning of this book though, I got kind of bored and wanted to quit. I didn't quit reading it, and I am glad I didn't because I really like the ending. My favorite part of this second book is the love life with Lena. He r love is everywhere and it has a sad ending. I also felt bad for Porter (the guy that Carmen been going on dates with but she didn't really like). Lastly I also love Bee's adventure she is always curious and energetic, and I am glad she find out more about her mom through her grandma. So just to say I get excited to read the next one and these four girls are very interesting.

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants #2
Once again this summer the girls are all split up again. Bridget finds hidden letters from her grandmother, Greta. Lena, in Greece to mourn over the loss of her grandfather,Bapi, and she finds Kostas married, and his wife pregnant. Tibby is taking a NYU screenwriting class. And Carmen is home dealing with her mother's new boyfriend. This summer is as crazy as ever. Friendships are tested, relationships are broken. Will the girls last this hectic summer? Read the book and find out more! I definitely suggest reading this nail biting book! You’ll be on the edge of your seat the whole time!

Ok, so I think this series is just ok. I like the coming of age stories of each of the girls. I also like that they're nice easy reads, easy to put down when you are being paged by little ones. I think that each one starts out a little slow but picks up nicely a fourth of the way in to the book, and I always enjoy the endings.

[Therese Deppe · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Second in the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants series. Like I said about the first book it's a literary chick flick. Not too deep if you're looking for a book where you don't have to concentrate too hard this is a pretty good choice. Again there are magical pants involved which is always fun. Its okay, but not something I would re-read in a hurry.

[Corinne · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a nice story, very similar to the first traveling pants book. Ann Brashares writes well, especially for a young adult fiction writer. These books are worthwhile if you like young adult fiction that isn

I really liked continuing the story. A sequel to the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. It showed how things can change and how we deal with them differently. It shows how ourour choices can be for better of worse. Love the little bits of romance!

I the "Pants" books because many of my students at work were raving about them. They were cute and appropriate for the middle & high school students.

[Jane · Rating 4 out of 5]

Easy read. Very good, light teen story.

[Tara · Rating 4 out of 5]

A light quick read. It is definitely for teens. I will be sending this on as a relay and not adding it to my classroom library. There is nothing explicit, but it may cause friction.
