Three close friends, Polly, Jo, and Ama, delve into their separate summer activities. Polly tries to make herself over to become a model. Jo spends the summer at her family’s beach house and deals with her parents’ separation, and Ama finds herself at a wilderness trip when what she really wanted was to spend her summer at an academic camp. As they change and grow, they wonder if their friendship will survive.The three friends who have known each other since third grade are drifting apart and now face spending the summer separately before they begin high school. Each girl is trying to find herself in her own unique way. There are strong messages here about self-acceptance, self-confidence, and friendship and the well-developed characters deal with some serious issues. Fans of the Travelling Pants series will encounter those girls as they make brief appearances, but those episodes feel somewhat contrived. Overall, a sweet story with a satisfying ending that will appeal to tweens.
