What Parents Need to Know
About Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood
Parents need to know that the sisterhood has grown up. In this last installment of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, the four friends are losing their virginities, fearing pregnancy, posing nude for artists, becoming involved with married men, and drinking a fair amount of alcohol. Like many young adults, they are also learning much more about themselves and facing painful realizations from their pasts, often with tears but also self-acceptance. Though they spend less time with their sisterhood counterparts, they keep their connection intact via phone, email, letters, and, of course, the run-down, never-been-washed pair of blue jeans. While the series' start was a good fit for older tweens, this is more of a mature teen read.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the challenge of maintaining relationships when friends separate for college and have different interests. What are the ways in which these young women are able to sustain their bond? Parents can also point out the problem-solving that these women are now able to do on their own when, in the past, they would have consulted their peers at every turn. Teens: Are there things you used to ask your friends' advice on that you handle on your own now? Will there always be things you consult your friends about? Parents might also want to mention the unrealistic and expensive travel that these women are able to do, such as the last-minute trip to Greece at the end of the novel. Other than Tibby, do these friends work? Is this a realistic look at how college-aged women spend their time in the summer?
