Forever in Blue The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood
by Ann Brashares
Hardcover: Jan 2007,
400 pages.
Paperback: Apr 2008,
416 pages.
With unraveled embroidery and fraying hems, the Traveling Pants are back for one last, glorious summer.
Lena: Immerses herself in her painting and an intoxicating summer fling, fearing that the moment she forgets about Kostos will be the moment she sees him again.
Carmen: Falls under the spell of a sophisticated college friend for whom a theatrical role means everything and the heritage of the Pants means nothing.
Bridget: Joins a dig for an ancient city on the coast of Turkey and discovers that her archaeology professor is available in every way except one.
Tibby: Leaves behind someone she loves, wrongly believing he will stay where she has left him.
Join Ann Brashares's beloved sisterhood once again in a dazzling, fearless novel. It's a summer that will forever change the lives of Lena, Carmen, Bee, and Tibby, here and now, past and future, together and apart.
BOOK REVIEWS
BookBrowse
It's been five years since Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants hit the book shelves and became an almost immediate hit with teen girls with more than 7 million books in print in North America alone. Brashares says that this will be the last book in the series, ending with a plot twist ensuring that it cannot be revived (although she reassures her fans that “it’s not like I kill off any of the characters”).

Kirkus Reviews
First-time sex, fear of pregnancy and breaking up are presented delicately, with humor and poignancy. An ode to love and friendship to delight Brashares's legions of fans, who have spent a good deal of their young lives sharing the Pants along with the sisterhood.
