Only socially backward Polly thinks she’ll miss the others when all three disperse the summer before high school. ![]() Living in the same town as the semilegendary Sisterhood girls, Ama, Polly and Jo have tried to share a pair of jeans and settled on a joint-property scarf (plus an induction ceremony), but their rituals are “lame,” and so, they suspect, is their trio. With the Traveling Pants series all wrapped up, Brashares introduces a new group of BFFs and addresses a slightly younger crowd. ![]()
