What Parents Need to Know
About Girls in Pants: The Third Summer of the Sisterhood
Parents need to know that this book is the third in a hugely popular series for teens. Themes include romantic experiences, familial changes, anxiety about college, and facing challenges from the past before moving ahead. There are some references to "getting stoned," detailed descriptions of kissing-type experiences with boys, and mentions of sleeping with and skinny-dipping with a boy, making this potentially iffy for young teens. But the romance is mostly in the background.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the girls' friendship. They're different in many ways -- family make-up, ethnicity, interests, and personalities -- yet they're bonded like sisters. What makes their friendship strong? Is this friendship realistic or fantasy? Parents could also talk about the individual challenges each girl faced and how they were handled successfully -- or what they could have done differently.

Fantastic
This book-like all the others-was absolutely phenomenal. It seems almost impossible how you can squeeze so much emotion into one book and still have room for some humor. This book was amazingly well written and kept me reading for days. You'll laugh, you'll cry, but most of all, you'll be moved at how far the girls have come since that fateful summer when they found the pants.

good for 10 year olds!
i loved the other two traveling pants books. they were funny and good reads. this one wasnt nearly as good as the other two, and was ment more for a younger audeince. the author didnt really use complex language, and the issuse in this book would have appealed to me more if i was younger(i am 14). it was ok though, and defenately not a terrible book.
