  <default_description>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. . . 
leavesAma is not an outdoorsy girl. She wanted to be at an academic camp, doing research in an air-conditioned library, earning A's. 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.
It is a new summer. And a new sisterhood. Come grow with them.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a sort-of companion to the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, but you didn't have to read them to get what was going on in this.<br/>This was very different, though, because the girls' friendship is different. That is what I like about this book, that it proves that not all friendsh...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57105096">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[When I saw the novel, <u>3 Willows: A Sisterhood Grows</u>, on a shelf at the library I noticed that the author of this novel had written several other realistic fiction books that I had enjoyed. Ann Brashares, the amazing author of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, introduced her latest novel ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56955666">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is by Ann Brashares, who is also the author of the bestselling Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series. 3 Willows is a branch off of the series. The main characters are three girls who live in the same neighborhood of the girls of the original sisterhood, and two have even made their acqu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53383630">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I have come to the conclusion that I don't gel with Ann Brashares writing. I can recognise that she's good but I can never find my way into one of her novels (with the exception of Tibby). I could argue that the Traveling Pants series were easier for me to relate to as the characters were older and ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51526794">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[So, this is the new Sisterhood. I love the way Brashares connects all the girls...with the Sisterhood being a legend at their high school, and the funny stories of how other groups of friends tried to emulate them. Couldn't be done. But Ama, Jo, and Polly DO create a bond just as strong, just as sup...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53570406">more...</a>]]></body>
