Girls in Pants: The Third Summer of the Sisterhood

Ann Brashares

The book I read from TeenLit was Girls In Pants:The Third Summer Of The Sister Hood, by Ann brashares. This book is fiction and I woud say that girls from the ages of 12- 16 should read this book. Girls In Pants is about 3 teenage girs who are best friends. These three girls are graduating high school and are spending their last summer together. All three girls have their own problems and now have one more; having to separate for the frist time, each going to a different college. I would rate this book a 3- it is confusing at times with so many main chracters and all, but this book had a good plot and the characters brought life to the story. In my opinion wasn't a great book but it was an alright book, but a good read if you're looking to relax.

Girls Out Late

Jaqueline Wilson

The title of the book I read is Girls Out Late, by Jaqueline Wilson. The genre of the book is fiction. I rate it a 4 (on a scale of 1-4 with 4 being the best), since it was very good overall. I think girls who are at least 12 years old should read this book. This book ia about three best friends who one night go to a place they are not supposed to. They meet boys who are very mean to them. Then one friend meets a guy she loves and spents the whole time with him and leaves her friends for him. At the end of the book the girls become friends again and it is like old times. This book teaches many good lessons about freindships and growing up. The most important lesson is that a guy may not be worth dropping everything at such a young age. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to a friend.
