I love this book as well as the rest of the series!! There are a few sexual things with one of the characters, but it is still appropriate for a mature preteen, and defiantly a teen. But that is my opinion. Loved the book!!!

What Parents Need to Know
About The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
Parents need to know that elements of concern to parents -- some sexual content, language, and poor decision-making -- along with an emotional subtext that won't make much sense to younger readers make this book for teens only.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about friendship. Do you think the friendship among the Sisterhood is realistic? Do you think they would have remained so close over the summer if they weren't sharing the pants? What about 10 years after the book's events -- do you think they'll remain close?

Great Story with Amazing Characters
I absolutely love this book! I wish I was one of the sisterhood girls. Ann Brashares has created incredible, realistic characters that I would love to be friends with myself. Each individual girls has her own story and issues, together they have a bond that helps them get through their struggles and enjoy their celebrations. It is difficult for me to choose which girl I like the best. I identify the most with Lena, think Tibby is hilarious, would like to have the energy and livelihood that Bridget has, and feel like Carmen and I both are passionate in every relationship we are in

No one is prefect,this book shows that no matter what you have done, your friends will be there to pick you up. It isnt a walt disney "happy ending book" it gives events that might happen to your daughter and what teen girls struggle with today. its amazing book, and it will keep your daughter wanting more.

Perfect for Middle Schoolers, Great Book
I really liked this book, and the rest of the series. I read it at age 13, in 8th grade. The sex isn't really an issue because it is very subtle, and not described. This series is very good, and even though it does have movies for the books, I believe it should have more recognition, because it is practically as good as Twilight, and probably way more well written than Twilight is. I love Twilight, don't get me wrong, but Ann Brashares has a great writing style, and she's just a great writer.
