The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Reader reviewed by Jessica M.

I absolutely fell in love with this book. It is one of my all-time favorite books. It is about four girls who find a pair of jeans that fit all of them. The jeans or "Traveling Pants" are supposed to be magical. I know to some people this book sounds dumb,but really it isn't. It has real deep meaning to it and it is not like most girly books when it is all about fashion and cash. A relly enjoyable book and a must read.

If you are one of those people like me, who love reading four books at the same time, then you should DEFENITELY read this.

This is about forur girls, Lena, Carmen, Tibby, and Bridget who are best friends, and they are spending their first summer apart. I beleive it was the day before they departed that they came upon an old pair of used jens in Carmen's closet. She was about to throw them out, then they all tried them on, and it fit them all perfectly, which is a sign of magic, seeing as they fit over Carmens big butt, and flattered Tibby's non- existent one. They think this is magic and they share the pants over the summer, letting them lead the way.

I happened to LOVE this book because it was the price of 1 book, but it was 4 books in 1.Does that make sense?

This book starts out with four best friends all going to be seperated for the first time this summer. These friends have known eachother since they were born, but they all are completly different.

Earlier in the year, one of the characters, Carmen, was in a thrift store and bought a pair of old jeans. When she got home, she forgot all about them and put them in her closet. But when all her friends were over the day before they seperated, she found them in the closet. All her friends wanted to try them on, but they were all sure they wouldn't all fit them, as they were all completly different sizes.

After all trying them on, they found that tey had fit everyone! They decided to send them to eachother during the summer after they had worn them.

I really liked this book. It was funny, and it really showed the connections between the charaters. Overall, this is a great read for ages 12+. If you liked it, be sure to check out the sequels, The Second Summer of the Sisterhood, and Girls in Pants.

Who can't love four girls spliting up for the summer?? Well one of my favourite book series! Makes you laugh, cry, and share the pants! When the pants travel, the tell a story and stay with them.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is about 4 girls named Tibby, Lena, Bridget, and Carmen, who are 4 best friends that are about to spend their first summer apart. Carmen is visiting her dad, Lena, is going to Greece, Tibby is staying home and working at Wallmans, and Bridget is going to soccer camp in California. With a pair of magical pants that go around between the Sisterhood, their memories of the summer are worked into the pants.

This was a truly great book that some people can probably relate too. Like Carmen's anger at her dad and Tibby's grief when Bailey died. It's truly amazing how four girls that are so different could still love each other so much and always be there for each other. That's waht makes this book so amazing.

I read this book and thought that it was one of the most addicting books I have read. The story starts out with four girls that have been friends since they were in their mom's tummys'. They still have a very close friendship. All of them are different from each other in many different ways. You will be able to relate to at least one of them. This book is about their first summer apart. Right before they separate they find a pair of pants that fits them all. Which is very strange because they are all different sizes. So they mail the pants to one another and they are good luck. In the book each one of the girls has a different story going on. Great read!
