Jo, newly told that her parents are divorcing, submerges her feelings in the excitement of being friends with a popular girl and having an older boyfriend or so she thinks. In typical Brashares fashion, each girl faces unexpected tribulations: intellectually ambitious Ama, who is afraid of heights, has won a spot in a prestigious scholarship program which sends her mountain climbing.
Only socially backward Polly thinks she'll miss the others when all three disperse the summer before high school. Living in the same town as the semilegendary Sisterhood girls, Ama, Polly and Jo have tried to share a pair of jeans and settled on a joint-property scarf (plus an induction ceremony), but their rituals are "lame," and so, they suspect, is their trio. With the Traveling Pants series all wrapped up, Brashares introduces a new group of BFFs and addresses a slightly younger crowd. "Like the previous Pants books, this one will travel from girl to girl." - Kirkus Reviews “Brashares gets her characters’ emotions and interactions just right.” - Publishers Weekly Instead her summer scholarship lands her on a wilderness trip full of flirting teenagers, blisters, impossible hiking trails, and a sad lack of hair products. She wanted to be at an academic camp, doing research in an air-conditioned library, earning A's.

At least that way she won't have to watch her friends moving so far ahead. She's setting her sights on a more glamorous life, but it's going to take all of her focus. Polly has an idea that she can't stop thinking about, one that involves changing a few things about herself. A story of growing up, friendship, and understanding yourself, about three girls enjoying one last summer before high school.
