Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood is the fourth and final novel in Ann Brashares's acclaimed "Sisterhood" series. The story concludes the adventures of four girls who share a pair of "magical" pants that fit each one of them perfectly, despite their vastly different shapes and sizes. This is the fourth book in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series and was considered the last, but Brashares published a fifth book in 2011. It was released on January 9, 2007. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, a movie based on the book, was released on August 6, 2008.
Famous quotes containing the words fourth and/or summer:
“We are playing with fire when we skip the years of three, four, and five to hurry children into being age six.... Every child has a right to his fifth year of life, his fourth year, his third year. He has a right to live each year with joy and self-fulfillment. No one should ever claim the power to make a child mortgage his today for the sake of tomorrow.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“Her body is a honey bowl
Whose waiting honey is deep and hot.
Her body is like summer earth,
Receptive, soft, and absolute . . .”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
