Anna Brashares Livres

Rien ne sera plus comme avant. A la fin des vacances, Carmen, Tibby, Bridget et Lena devront se séparer, se rendre chacune dans une université différente. Plus que jamais, elles se raccrochent au symbole de leur amitié : le jean magique, témoin de leurs vies, témoin de ce troisième été qui s'annonce décisif... Carmen voit s'effondrer ses belles certitudes. Après avoir découvert que sa mère lui cachait un incroyable secret, un charmant jeune homme lui fait prendre conscience qu'une jeune fille aimable et généreuse sommeille peut-être en elle... Tibby se pose plus de questions que jamais. Sa petite soeur a frôlé la mort et elle se sent responsable de cet accident. Alors que la vie lui tend les bras, Tibby résiste au bonheur qui s'offre à elle... Bridget pense avoir chassé ses vieux démons. Monitrice dans un camp sportif, elle est loin de se douter qu'elle y retrouvera le garçon qu'elle avait rencontré deux ans plus tôt : son vieux démon... Lena s'interroge sur son avenir. Son père ne comprend pas ses choix et tente de la faire renoncer à ses projets. Cet été sera pour elle une occasion unique d'affirmer sa véritable personnalité... Plus émouvantes et drôles que jamais, les quatre filles nous entraînent une fois encore dans le tourbillon de la vie, une vie qui n'épargne personne, mais qui donne tant à ceux qui l'aiment.

Les vacances approchent. Carmen, Tibby, Bridget et Lena s'apprêtent à ressortir le jean magique, symbole de leur amitié et témoin de leurs aventures. Cette année, l'été s'annonce cependant bien différent... Carmen reste à Washington avec sa mère : crises et turbulences en perspective... Tibby part suivre un stage de cinéma en Virginie mais, même derrière la caméra, ses souvenirs vont la rattraper. Bridget, qui traverse une crise existentielle, décide de se réconcilier avec son passé en rendant une visite surprise à sa grand-mère. Lena, dont le cœur n'est jamais vraiment revenu de Grèce, va percer des secrets de famille insoupçonnés. De surprises en émotions, de rires en larmes, les quatre filles vont une nouvelle fois faire l'expérience de la vie et l'affronter avec courage, humour et détermination.

Rien ne peut séparer des amies comme Tibby, Carmen, Bridget et Lena. Rien... sauf des vacances d'été qu'elles vont passer pour la première fois chacune de son côté. Pour surmonter cette épreuve, elles ont, comme un trait d'union, un jean. Bleu, vieux, bête comme un pantalon, oui mais voilà, ce jean-là est magique, puisqu'il va à merveille à chacune de ces filles pourtant aussi différentes physiquement que moralement. Il sera leur lien, leur témoin et le gage de leur amitié. Après se l'être passé toutes les semaines, elles écriront dessus, à la fin des vacances, un mot ou un dessin qui résumera leurs aventures.

Summer is a time to grow... Seeds... Polly has an idea that she can't stop thinking about, one that involves changing a few things about herself. She's setting her sights on a more glamorous life, but it's going to take all of her focus. At least that way she won't have to watch her friends moving so far ahead. Roots... Jo is spending the summer at her family's beach house, working as a busgirl and bonding with the older, cooler girls she'll see at high school come September. She didn't count on a brief fling with a cute boy changing her entire summer. Or feeling embarrassed by her middle-school friends. And she didn't count on her family at all. . . Leaves... Ama is not an outdoorsy girl. She wanted to be at an academic camp, doing research in an air-conditioned library, earning As. 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.

Au coeur d'étés inoubliables, une grande histoire où se mêlent subtilement les voix de quatre adolescentes. De surprises en émotions, de rires en larmes, Carmen, Tibby, Bridget et Lena font l'apprentissage de la vie... et se retrouvent dix ans plus tard, controntées aux grandes questions de l'existence : l'amitié, la mort, la maternité, l'amour...

The Summers of the Sisterhood Collection by Ann Brashares features three bestselling works of teen fiction that make for great summer reading. Including the well-known novel that was also filmed as a major Hollywood movie - The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants - this super set is packed with magic and friendship as well as eventful encounters with first love, family troubles and fatal illness - set against a variety of backdrops from California to Greece.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, The Here and Now is an epic star-crossed romance about a girl who might be able to save the world . . . if she lets go of the one thing she’s found to hold on to. Follow the rules. Remember what happened. Never fall in love. The world Prenna James comes from is in ruins. She and the others who escaped are here to prevent humanity’s destruction. But if they don’t follow The Rules, everything that matters will be gone: Friends. Families. Dreams. Love. Ethan Jarves can never know Prenna’s secret. That she’s not from another place. She’s from another time. "This gripping story is set in a world unlike any other and inhabited by beautifully imagined characters that stay with you long after the last page.” – Sara Shepard, bestselling author of Pretty Little Liars “An appealing romantic thriller . . . [also] a potent reminder that we inherit the future we buy with our actions today.”—Cassandra Clare for the New York Times Book Review “Fast-paced, gripping, and romantic.”—Publishers Weekly “Lightning-paced . . . like a cinematic blockbuster.”—Kirkus Reviews “The Here and Now could just as easily sit among the time-travel sci-fi, coming-of-age, or romantic thrillers of YA. Honestly, even though I really don't know how to categorize it, I loved it.”—Happily Ever After/USA Today

It's summer, and after their first year of college, best friends Bridget, Lena, Tibby, and Carmen are scattered. When Lena's sister Effie pursues Tibby's boyfriend Brian and runs off to Greece with the JEANS, the friends embark on a journey to find her, leading to a wonderful summer adventure.

Daniel has spent centuries falling in love with the same girl. Life after life, crossing continents and dynasties, he and Sophia (despite her changing name and form) have been drawn together - and he remembers it all. Daniel has 'the memory', the ability to recall past lives and recognize souls of those he's previously known. It is a gift and a curse. For all the times that he and Sophia have been drawn together throughout history, they have also been torn painfully, fatally, apart. A love always too short. Interwoven through Sophia and Daniel's unfolding present day relationship are glimpses of their expansive history together. From 552 Asia Minor to 1918 England and 1972 Virginia, the two souls share a long and sometimes torturous path of seeking each other time and time again. But just when young Sophia (now 'Lucy' in the present) finally begins to awaken to the secret of their shared past, to understand the true reason for the strength of their attraction, the mysterious force that has always torn them apart reappears. Ultimately, they must come to understand what stands in the way of their love if they are ever to spend a lifetime together.

The fourth and final novel in the wildly popular #1 New York Times bestselling Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, from the author of The Whole Thing Together and The Here and Now. With unraveled embroidery and fraying hems, the Traveling Pants are back for one last, glorious summer. It’s a summer that will forever change the lives of Lena, Bridget, Tibby, and Carmen, here and now, past and future, together and apart. Pants = love. Love your pals. Love yourself. “Genuinely moving." —Entertainment Weekly “A strong, satisfying conclusion.” —Booklist “An ode to love and friendship.” —Kirkus Reviews “A great read.” —Daily News (New York)
