=Week 4: Amy Wyatt= I finished the book today and it was very good. I love all four girls but if it were real life I would have wanted Carmen to fit right in with her dad's new family, Lena and Kostos to get together right away instead of at the end of her visit, Bridget to have fun and concentrate on soccer instead of Eric and Bailey to get well instead of die. But, that would have taken all the drama out of the book and it would have been predictable and not good to read. I'm excited about seeing the movie and I want to read the second book and see the second movie too. I have long distance friends that I don't see much and it is hard to keep in touch and make time for each other but it's always worth it and fun when we get to see each other. I'm glad you chose this book it was fun to read and I'm looking forward to meeting you next Tuesday, which is also Reise's birthday. = Week 4 Adult: Amy Wyatt = Student: Rebecca Nethery Book Title: Sisterhood Traveling Pages Read:294

In the last part of the book everything came down with a boom, and it seemed as if the traveling pants were losing its magic! Tragic things were happening to everyone and they couldn’t steer out of trouble! For Tibby, Mimi and Bailey had died leaving her no one to lookup to, while her friends were away. Carmen ran away feeling jealous and despised by her own dad and letting her anger strike! Bridget got a broken heart over boy she wanted, and Lena felt as if she was always in the wrong place at the wrong time. Though the pants brought many unpredictable things, good things were soon to come. Not only did the sisterhood get back together again, they also learned life lessons as well. One thing that I learned from the book is keep close to the ones you love. Never have the sisterhood been away from each other and they are fretting about it but they find a way to deal with it. I loved this book. I know I would read it again if I could! I wouldn’t even change a single word, even though it got really sad and I “//almost”// cried the ending was perfect and every one was happy. One thing on my summer to do list is to rent the movie to see how close it is to the book, and what the sequels are like (I’ve already started on book 2)! At first I didn’t think I would like it for I’m not a great lover in //girly-girl// books. But it was totally great!!!! :-) I think every girl wanting adventure or love should read this, especially my sister. She recently moved to San Francisco with her boyfriend Scott. We don’t get to see her much and now unexpectedly Scott has Hepatitis C from a blood transfusion. It would be soooo cool if we were pen pals or shared something that was special to us!

See you soon, Becca Nethery

The protagonist of this story to me is the sisterhood. The protagonists of this weeks reading had a very bumpy ride! Tibby made a friend with Bailey, Bee is trying not to kiss the coach, and Carmen feels invisible to her own family while Lena wishes she were! All of the four girls do somewhat remind me of myself. I’m on the shy side and get embarrassed really easy, but then again I do have a GIRL instinct in me that craves boys!!!! Some parts of me wished I was like all of the girls. Brave like Bee, calm and beautiful like Lena, inspiring as Tibby, and smart in math as Carmen! I wish they could just be my best friends. They sound perfect in almost every way!

I feel so sorry for Lena skinny-dippin and getting caught! She would feel so embarrassed yet it really does SPIKE up the story at the same time! I get embarrassed all the time. My face turns red as a tomato and it’s normally when my mom and dad talk about my secret admire to the neighbors! Even though Lena got caught skinny-dipping by Kostos, I bet Lena will get back at Kostos some how or even manage to fall in love with him! There’s not much going around at home for things have died down. We have Scholastic Bowl regionals on the 28 and I know we’re going to do great. This morning we made cheese from goat milk. It tasted really good and wasn’t even different than cows, except mom is a salt nazi and put the whole saltshaker in! After we got the salt problem fixed, the cheese was a creamy farmers cheese. I’m really hungry and I can’t wait to home go try some more!!!

Can’t wait to meet you! Becca
