Carmen got the jeans at a thrift shop. They didn’t look all that great; they were worn, dirty, and speckled with bleach. On the night before she and her friends part for the summer, Carmen decides to toss them. But Tibby says they’re great. She’d love to have them. Lena and Bridget also think they’re fabulous. Lena decides they should all try them on. Whoever they fit best will get them. Nobody knows why, but the pants fit everyone perfectly. Even Carmen (who never thinks she looks good in anything), thinks she looks good in the pants. Over a few bags of cheese puffs they decide to form a sisterhood, and take the vow of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants . . . the next morning, they say good-bye. And now the journey of the pants–and the most memorable summer of their lives–begins.

Summary: Enjoy
Comment: While reading this book you'll have a good time. It's not a thriller or a love story. Simply is a story.
Customer Rating:
Summary: I want some magical pants!!
Comment: I have not seen the movie for this book, and didn't even know about this book until I heard that the movie came out for it. I chose not to see it and never read the book. I thought it looked dumb.
But, needing something new to read, I picked this book up last week even though I was feeling a bit skeptical. I had it read in two days.
I really, really enjoyed this book! Even though there are four individual stories, it's nicely told as one intertwined 'sisterhood' story with the traveling pants. Emotions go up and down through it all, but it had my emotions going up and down with it, watching as the 'sisters' each have their own discoveries about life and themselves and learning how to deal with them. I found myself reminiscing of my high school days/summers with my group of friends and it had me wishing we had magical pants of our own then.
I enjoyed this book so much, I have already picked up and read the second book and am ready for the third.
It's a fun book and I highly recommend it!

Summary: Sisterhood
Comment: These are great books on friendship and girls. It is interesting that if these girls stay together they will be very close for 20 years. Great books. Good reading.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very much a girl book
Comment: I read this in high school. Maybe I wouldn't feel the same way now, but as a high school girl I adored this book. Well, heck, then. I guess it's aimed at high school girls and that is why the book is as popular as it is. It's cheesy and horribly girly, but that is how it is supposed to be and why it left such a mark in my heart. It's a charming, heartfelt tale of friendship and discovery. Yes, we see them so often in YA literature, but I still couldn't help but love it. Throw in the semi-magical idea of pants that fit everyone and you have a mix of girl power sisterhood.

Summary: Jam-Packed With Action and Romance
Comment: Do you have a best friend? Do you have four? Have you known them since you were born? Most likely not. But Lena, Carmen, Bridget and Tibby have that going for them. Their mothers were in the same pregnancy class, and they were all born within two weeks of each other. Virtually, their friends were made for them. Even as their mothers grew apart, the four girls remained inseparable. Faced with the prospect of their first summer apart, they were a bit more nervous than they should have been. They had never been away from each other for two months before! Bridget was going to a soccer camp in Mexico, Lena to her grandparents in Greece, and Carmen was going to visit her father in South Carolina. Poor Tibby was staying home to work at Wallmann's. Coincidentally, a week or so before their trips, they find a pair of jeans that manages to fit all four of their very different body types. They feel it is a good omen, and become slightly less nervous. They plan to send the Pants to each girl for a week, and are dubbed the Traveling Pants. Many things happen that summer, like finding love, and meeting new friends. Will this last? Read The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants to see what happens.
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is a book jam-packed with all sorts of action, romance, and some sad parts, too. With four different stories happening at the same time, there's never a slow part! The author, Ann Brashares, does a great job of describing her characters, and gives a real insight into some of the problems the girls face. Another interesting thing about this, and all three sequels, is that it tackles a lot of real-world problems, which makes it more serious and less sappy fiction for pre-teens. You should really try this book; it makes for a great, relatively easy read, plus you have three other equally magnificent books to read next!
