Review 12 (EC)Brashares, Ann. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Random House Children's Books: 2004. Print
Annotation: A sweet, summer coming-of-age story. A story about the bond of friendship.
Justification for Nomination: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is a necessary read for young women. In our ever increasingly digital world, where technological advances in communication have the ability to simultaneously and instantly connect as well as distance is from face-to-face conversation, this book has value.
Author Ann Brashers depicts these unique individuals and their adventures while in possession of the "magical" pants in very fun and interesting way. Each character comes alive in their dynamic depictions.
The level of friendship-the trials and tribulations they experience as an intimate community- serves as a wonderful model for young women. The healthy, supportive friendships are refreshing without feeling fake or forced.
I recommend this book to middle and high-school age women; and I would nominate it for a Mock Printz as well.
Genre: Coming of Age
