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

Book Description

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 Description

As their lives take them in different directions, Lena, Tibby, Carmen, and Bridget discover many more things about themselves and the importance of their relationship with each other.

3 out of 5 stars I liked the others better.......2007-08-10

This was the book made to tie up loose ends. Everyone came to a conclusion about their life and the pants. The whole thing was sort of boring. Yes I liked the book, but in a way everyone was the same as they started. I suppose the point of it was to show how they had grown up and still stayed the same. Maybe it was that there wasn't enough excitement or maybe it's that I'm tired now but i thought it wasn't as good as the other books.

5 out of 5 stars Sisterhood.......2007-08-04

I have enjoyed this entire series...takes me back to my Judy Blume days. The girl in all of us can identify with these characters as they grow, change, and try to not lose themselves or each other in the process. The earlier on you learn that nothing means more than your girl friends...the better off you are! I think the quotes between the chapters are insightful, and I enjoy finding their relation to the story as I read on. That brings a literary aspect not often found in young adult novels. I appreciate that this book and its prequels can be light and real at the same time. A book about pants sounds like fluff, but you feel with these girls as they deal with real issues both internal and external. Real doesn't have to be dark...bittersweet seems more fitting. These books capture the laughter through tears that is what sisterhood is about. I highly recommend reading them all.

4 out of 5 stars So Long Sisterhood.......2007-07-26

Although this wasn't my fave Sisterhood book, it deserves kudos for not only reflecting the maturity of the characters at this point in their lives, but also the realities of growing up and growing apart. This is the fourth and supposedly final chapter of the Sisterhood tomes, and is likely to provide a conclusive feeling for the readers of the series.

To recap, the Travelling Pants series details the summers four best friends spend, sometimes apart, sometimes together. They are of course, as per the legend, bonded together by a pair of 'magical' pants that give them the strength of the love they feel as friends even when they aren't together.

In all fairness I read the third book quite some time ago so reading the new fourth one was a bit of a cognitive leap - I could barely remember a lot of what happened in the past! Anyway in this one the girls are bridging the gap between their first and second year of university. They've actually shared the pants year-round this time because they have spent the year at different colleges etc. That should be your first clue something is up - the girls are very very much so a lot more individual characters this time around, which was both refreshing and problematic. Of the latter, it was good because I was sick and tired of how cheesy and overemphasized their relationship was - although some sappy moments still exist towards the end, they are certainly toned down. But in the absence of their friendship it almost defeated the purpose of the book, and the pants of course.

This time around the girls spend most of their summer apart. Tibby is still in New York working and taking a summer class and wondering whether she has made the right choices when it comes to her relationship with Brian. Bee (my fave as always) is in Turkey getting back to basics on an archeological dig site and wondering whether the best alternative to missing her boyfriend is not missing a single thing her hot professor does. Flamboyent Carmen has surprisingly shrunk into her shell over the last year, and fallen under the wing of a supposedly protective, glorious friend, who turns out to be anything but as their summer continues. Lena is at art school and enraptured with a guy, shockingly this time, not the love of her life, Kostos.

As I mentioned earlier, the book definitely took on a more mature tone than the others - most of it dealt with sex and relationships and very little of it focused on friendship and personal self-growth - although most of the storylines evolve to give the girls those girl power moments of epiphany. Although I enjoyed the storylines a lot more this time it almost felt like the characters were under-used and less developed because there was far less crossover opportunities given their summer was spent so far apart emotionally and physically.

Brashares does a good job wrapping up the series in a realistic way though - Upon finishing it, I realized why she decided to do a fourth (I completely assumed the third would be the last) as each book is kind of meant to represent each of the four girls.

All in all a fitting conclusion to the series that represented, quite honestly, the realities of growing up and moving away when it comes to those true blue friends you thought you'd never forget, and those true blue jeans you thought you'd never lose.

5 out of 5 stars Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants).......2007-07-19

OMG!!! I loved every single one of the books preceding this book and this one hit the mark! It is so wonderful, and though it is so sad that it ends the series the finish is remarkable. Brashare's masterpiece is complete!!!

2 out of 5 stars One too many.......2007-07-15

I thought the prime qualities of the first three books of this series were charm and innocence. For the fourth installment, one of our heroines poses nude for a male art student and another falls for a married man with children. Whatever other qualities the book may have, charming and innocent it is not.

4 out of 5 stars elegant but easy.......2007-06-27

My daughter gave me this cookbook. I have never seen Nigella's TV shows but like the simple, tasty recipies. I also like Nigella's descriptions of each dish. I sent it off as a thank you to a friend who is a great Italian cook. Carolyn

3 out of 5 stars An odd mix of outstanding and poor recipes.......2007-05-24

I have all but one of Nigella's cookbooks and this is one of my favorites. Having said that I must all say that each book has recipes that utterly fail and ones that are unbelievably great. In Forever Summer the Strawberry Meringue Layercake is good in theory, but the sponge cake part ends up very dry and the entire thing looks like a hamburger. People were not impressed. The Coconut Slab, overly sugared and dry. However, her Chocolate Raspberry Pav was fabulous. And I couldn't go wrong with any of the pasta dishes, they were wonderful. Of course, the photos are gorgeous and the book itself is very fun to read through, especially when you are missing summer in the dead of winter. But, it;s frustrating when the photos are gorgeous but the end result half the time isn't nearly as good as it looks. I'm happy there were less photos of her in this book eating and posing for the camera. That gets a little tiring. Overall, I'd recommend it if you can pick it up for less used.

4 out of 5 stars i love nigella.......2007-04-18

i made several recepes from this book some time ago, i cant wait to but another book, i just love nigella and her books, they are facinating!! and so entertaining!

4 out of 5 stars Forever Summer.......2007-01-12

Not only do I use this cookbook often, I have given it as a gift twice. I have made numerous recipes, all have been excellent and easy to make. Several of the recipes are now staples, both for family meals and for entertaining. The crab with linguini and chiles is superb.

5 out of 5 stars Nigella Rocks.......2007-01-10

My how Nigella has changed the way I Cook, Eat, think and feel about food. I first saw Nigella cooking on her TV show Nigella Bites and just loved the way she spoke about food with her passion coming through the TV screen. I purchased her books and now I'm such the Male Domestic God that I think I have missed my calling and should have been a Chef, but I do know that it's all thanks to Nigella.

4 out of 5 stars good series..........2007-03-06

This was a good series from Janette Oke. It isn't one of her best, but I still really enjoyed reading it. I would recommend it to anyone who is already a Janette Oke fan. For new readers I would suggest starting with her other series such as Love Comes Softly or the Canadian West series.

5 out of 5 stars One of my favorites growing up........2005-12-01

Originally my mom introduced me to this series because she thought I would enjoy it because it was from a guys perspective. Well she was right. I cant even count how many times I read through each of the books. I could always imagine being right there with him as he told his story. Eventually I was given this book collecting all four novels and again read through it over and over again. This being the only Janette Oke series I have read I cant really base it off of the other ones. But for me it was a great way to spend a rainy day or just any other time I felt like picking up a book.

3 out of 5 stars All right overall.......2002-05-14

Personally, I don't care for the way Janette Oke used the first-person style of writing, with a man as her main character. Her man just doesn't seem like a real man, mainly because he acts and thinks along the same lines as Janette's women do in her other books. Overall, it was a mistake for her to use a guy to tell the story- I think the books would have been vastly better if Janette had used a girl's perspective.
Aside from that complaint-
This story begins with the childhood of the "narrator", and goes through the boy's growing-up years on the farm. Everything is peaceful and happy. Little incidents occur here and there- his grandfather comes to live with them, he gets his first dog, etc. Finally, he becomes a man. One night he overhears the men downstairs discussing the fact that he needs to get married. He decides that yes, he should get married, so bang! he goes out and does it. Then the books tell about his married life (I liked his wife, by the way.) During his married life they go through the Depression and he winds up on a road crew far from home. All of a sudden, at the very end, everything is resolved and he gets to go home.
Generally this story is pretty good, but I've read many books by Janette Oke that are much better. Like I said, I think what messed up this series was trying to use the guy's perspective. It just isn't quite right.

5 out of 5 stars Seasons Series.......2001-08-04

I am an avid fan of Janette Oke, and have read every thing she has published. This is indeed a wonderful series, with descriptive scenes and true romance. If you haven't tried this one--give it a chance-it is a beautiful story.

Book Description

The first nine books in the popular Christy Miller series are now available in three treasured volumes!

Bestselling author Robin Jones Gunn packs each one with enough action, romance, and drama to keep you reading and wanting more. It all starts the summer Christy vacations on a California beach and meets two friends who change her life forever. But after moving across the country with her family, Christy must begin her sophomore year of high school uncertain where she’ll fit in. A red-headed new best friend, a try at cheerleading, a job at a pet store, and expectations for the prom fill Christy’s high school years with a string of laughter-and-tears moments. Fireball Katie keeps everyone guessing what she’ll do next, and surfer Todd keeps showing up while popular Rick has determined to get her full attention! As these memorable years unfold, Christy and her God-loving friends find out what it means to be a “peculiar treasure.” Follow Christy Miller as she stays true to her identity in Christ, drawing closer to God for help in realizing her dreams and dealing with her disappointments.

Whether you’re meeting her for the first time or have known her for years—

Christy Is a Forever Friend

Summer Promise

Fourteen-year-old Christy Miller has the dream summer ahead of her in sun-kissed California, staying with her aunt and uncle at their beachfront home. Aunt Marti loves to shop, and those surfers are cute—especially Todd. Christy promised her parents she wouldn’t do anything she’d regret later, and some of her beach friends are a little wild. But Todd and his “God-Lover” friends are giving Christy a new image of all things eternal. Can this summer live up to its promise?

A Whisper and a Wish

Christy’s family has moved to California just in time for her sophomore year of high school. But they’re not in Newport Beach, where she spent the summer. Instead they’re an hour and a half away and Christy has to start all over making friends. Despite an embarrassing escapade at a slumber party, things are going pretty well...until some midnight fun leads to a trip to the police station. Does God really hear every whisper? Does He know our every wish? Then why is it so hard to know who your friends really are?

Yours Forever

Christy is back at Aunt Marti and Uncle Bob’s house on the beach for the entire week between Christmas and New Year’s...and Todd is in town, too! The cute surfer completely captured Christy’s heart last summer, and she’s eager to spend every possible minute with him. But soon Christy and her aunt are barely speaking, and it seems like all her friends are mad at her, too—including Todd! Is he hers or isn’t he? And why would God let things get so tangled?

Story Behind the Book

“The Christy Miller series was actually born when a group of thirteen-year-olds challenged me to write a novel. I’d been questioning the content of their favorite books when they said, ‘Why don’t you write a book for us?’ I told them no, I only wrote picture books. But they persisted: ‘How hard could it be? We’ll even tell you what to write! We want a love story with teenagers at the beach.’ And there you go. Summer Promise first released seventeen years ago and is now translated into five languages. I continue to hear from readers all over the world, many girls saying that they gave their life to Christ after reading Summer Promise. I love that!”

After many failed attempts during the past few years to find a book or series of books for her to read for pleasure, I gave this book to my 14 yr. old daughter, Amber, in June hoping she would enjoy reading it this summer...I am thrilled to say that she couldn't put it down!!! Not only have I also purchased Vols. II, III and IV for her (she is currently reading Vol. IV)...she has shared her love of the books with her friends and now they have the series and are reading them!!! This has made me so very happy...especially since these are Christian based books with valuable life lessons for our teens. What a wonderful gift to be able to give to our teenage daughters in this challenging & confusing world we live in~~~Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Robin Jones Gunn...from the bottom of my heart!!!!

5 out of 5 stars A great read.......2007-06-01

In SUMMER PROMISE, the first book in Robin Jones Gunn's Christy Miller series, a farm girl from Wisconsin is invited by her aunt and uncle to spend the summer with them in ritzy Newport Beach, California. However, upon arrival, Christy Miller realizes that she certainly does not fit in with the glamorous crowd that inhabits the town. After rejection and embarrassment, Christy's Aunt Marti suggests that she undergo a makeover; perhaps a transformation is all she needs to make some new friends. With an expensive new wardrobe and a stylish haircut, Christy finds that she indeed captures the attention of Todd and Shawn, the classically good-looking surfer boys, as well as Alissa, a stunning older girl who has lived all over the world.

All seems to go well until Christy realizes that her new friends may have an entirely different definition of a good time. Shawn invites Christy to a party, and she soon learns that it may be unlike any party she has ever been to. After being ignored or laughed at by most of those in attendance, and uncomfortable with the presence of alcohol and drugs, Christy decides to get out. While she makes a wise choice, others do not, and the night soon ends with a tragedy that will change the rest of the summer. Afterwards, Christy begins spending more time with Todd, who opens up to her about his strong faith in God.

Although she has gone to church all her life, Todd introduces her to a new group of people who are serious about faith in a way she has never experienced before. At the same time, Aunt Marti's constant nagging and desire to "improve" Christy begin to eat away at her self-esteem. As her world seems to move faster than it ever has, will Christy be able to live up to the promise she made to her parents not to do anything she will regret? Will she finally be able to figure out how gorgeous, sensitive Todd really feels about her? And why is she being forced to suddenly return home?

SUMMER PROMISE is an excellent beginning to the Christy Miller series. Fans of TV shows such as "The OC" and "Summerland" undoubtedly will appreciate the familiar beach setting and situations. Gunn does an excellent job of filling the book with a plot that is not quite as predictable as those usually found in teen fiction, as well as keeping up with the latest pop-culture references. It tackles many issues, such as self-image and family problems, but underlying all of this is Christy's newfound ideas about God. SUMMER PROMISE is a great read, with an ending that does not resort to the contrived and surely will have readers eagerly awaiting Christy's future adventures.

I just fell in love with the Christy Miller series. Finally theres a great Christian teen book out there with actual morels. Its a nice break from Gossip girls. It opened up my eyes about God and everything. It also opened my life to reading. This book shows that Christians make mistakes too. If your a girl interested in Christianity then you should definitely read the bible first but if your just looking for someone to relate to i would recommend this book.

5 out of 5 stars Christy and Todd are so sweet!.......2007-03-28

This one was AMAZING. Now I want to go to Disneyland to do all the things Christy did and re-live that experience. You're really rooting for her to get together with Todd. I got the volume, and I read all of this one in a day or two, I was hooked! These are my favorite series ever, and I doubt that will change soon.

-pokes post below this one- Read the college years :P You'll find that her romance with Todd is more consistent, and it might change your view on romance novels.

I love all of Cherie Bennet's Sunset Series. In my opinion they are one of the most interesting teenage series published. I have been to book stores looking for sunset books and have found up to 20 books in the series. I would love to read them all! And I hope you can put a list of ALL the books in this series. Thanks.

I have read all of the Sunset Island Books and this is definetly one of the best of the series. I cried during parts of it, especially towards the end. I couldn't believe they were all going away for the winter. But, definetly a very good book.

I have read every single one of the series Sunset Island and it was i must admitt the best series I have ever read. The last book Sunset Forever though was the best book in the whole series. I was sitting reading the end and the tears were rolling down my cheeks. I just wished it would never end becasuse i it did the whole series would be over.

5 out of 5 stars Cherie Bennett's finale to the Sunset series was incredible!.......1998-01-15

Cherie really captured the true meaning of friendship in this novel. Sadly enough, it was the last one in the Sunset Island series,( the best series ever) and it really blew me away. I cried and I laughed. Although I couldn't wait to find out what happened, I longed for the book to never be over because the thought of finising my favorite series ever was a bit sad. It really exposed how love can affect your life, through friendship, and romance. The ending was a suprise, and as I read it through tear-stained eyes, I smiled. I had hoped that there would be another Sunset book after that one, a follow-up, but I guess that would ruin the effect. This book was the best in the series and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in teen fiction. Peticularly those who love Cherie's books as much as I do.

1 out of 5 stars christian but crazy.......2007-03-31

In the first book summer promise i was so confused. First of all who is this jebuth guy everybody talk about? And what the heck is a bibble?when christy goes to California she is the laughing stock of the beach bums. first she gets insulted by beach bums for being a green bean.that was a hoot.then she got the "talk" with aunt marti that she should be more active with the boys if you know what i mean.so aunt marti helps her out by buying her a new wardrobe that is so not childish i give aunt marti a two thumbs up.my question for this book is when she drowns does she get help from Todd or does he push and take credit the untold story. But lets not forget about meeting alissa. I mean who wouldn't want friend like her. Shes physically active with guys i do mean men. She also drinks and does drugs. Too bad christy wasn't more like her. Then she swims with her and almost of course drowns then todd came to the rescue. Yeah right he was nothing more then a pansy god boy. Then he fellows her to her towel i mean how pathetic. The amazing shawn comes then with alissa. Christy would of been better off with shawn i think. Well anyways Shawn and Alissa go sleep together i mean what a life style. And Christy and todd were alone on a crowded beach. Then they went in the water where christy first met creepy Doug. With a sandwich in one hand then a taco in the another. Crap i have to go pick my kids up from school write more later

5 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL SERIES!!!!!.......2005-02-19

I think every girl in the world should read the Christy Miller series! They're great books! The main character goes through things in her life like insecurities, break-ups, issues in relationships...It has a very personal feel, and I admit I felt like I was going everything she was going through. But yeah...I can't really describe it to do it justice. If you read the series, you'll know what I mean. I definately recommend that you do!!

5 out of 5 stars they rock!.......2005-02-03

I started the series when a friend let me read the first one way back when and I have been addicted ever since. I love them. They truly are awesome and I have one more to read which is the last one of the college years. im sad to see the story end. : ( I am buying them all but I only have 4 of them so far. I don't know if I want to read the sierra series because they can't be as good as these and I don't want to be let down. But I will prob read them eventually. Enjoy the books, they rock!

5 out of 5 stars Best Series Ever!.......2004-03-21

I started by getting the Sierra Jensen series and I just couldn't put it down. When I heard about the Christy Miller Series I just had to have them and I couldn't stop reading them. I would recomend them to any and all teenage girls. I'm about to order the Christy and Todd: The college years series and I can't wait to get them!!

5 out of 5 stars Wow........2004-02-16

I was totally sucked in when I read the second book in the Christy Miller series--I knew I had to go back and read the first one and then finish the books. They were awesome! I couldn't wait for the College years to come out, but now I've read them--I wish Mrs. Gunn would write some more so that we could see how Todd and Christy's kids turn out! Looking for more Christy stuff, I found the Sierra Jensen books but was skeptical, thinking, "yeah she may be friends with Christy, but she's not Christy; and Todd, Doug, Tracy, and Katie aren't on every page anymore. Surely these won't be as good." Wrong! I love Sierra as much as I loved Christy, in a different way. Probably because I can totally identify with Sierra's guy relationships. I have a friend who's just like Paul, and I have "liked" him for 7 years--ever since I was 9! As Sierra says, "what I feel for him is more than a crush. It's something deeper, but I can't explain it." Whoever you are, I guarantee that you will identify with either Christy, Tracy, Katie, Sierra, Amy, or Tawni---and they're all awesome girls who end up with awesome guys. It takes lots of time and problems for some of them, but in the end everything works out. These are books you've gotta read over Spring break, trust me! Get them from the library if you have to. Just do it!

      5 out of 5 stars Awsome book!.......1999-10-30

      The BSC is having a summer camp! The BSC has had a lot of problems-including Cokie Mason. So all the members have been working hard-entertaining the kids, solving their problems, and fixing their mistakes. But all the BSC members have noticed something weird about Kristy. And that's because her father came back into her life! Mary Anne is the only BSC member who knows that her father is back in town. During Day Camp, Kristy goes home early and comes late. Plus, she's been lying to all the members! Kristy can't let all her friends down. But is her father worth it? Or will he go away again?

      5 out of 5 stars Ann is my most favourite author.......1999-03-21

      What a wonderful book! I love it because it proves that no matter what, the BSC will aways help each other. My favourite part was when Kristy met her father. Ann M. Martin's books expresses the member's feelings. Ann is my most favourite author.

      5 out of 5 stars great movie.......1998-06-11

      Iloved this movie it talks about friendship and how friends should always be there for each other through tick and thin it reminded me of now and then.

      5 out of 5 stars Friends.......1998-03-07

      I loved this movie, I had been waiting for it a long time. I liked it mostly bacause it shows the friendship between all the sitters, and sometimes in your hardest moments you need friends and they are always there for you. And that is what the movie is about, when Claudia needed to get good grades the other girls helped her, when Kristy had all this trouble with her father, her friends helped her solve the problem.

      5 out of 5 stars I loved the book.......1998-02-17

      The story was great but sometimes it made me sad. Kristy was torn between her father and her friends. Then Claudia flunked science and had to go to summer school. With all this going on the club was running a summer camp and Cokie Mason tried to steal Logan, Mary-Anne's boyfriend. The story was great but sad.
