Reader reviewed by Leigh

Four girls in pants and thier adventures while away from each other for the first time is what its mainly about yet this book was one of the coolest books I have ever read!! The title does not give it justice but still a great book. It's a definate must read.

By now, everyone has seen the commercials about the movie, and even before that many of us had heard about this book. Could it live up to the hype? Yes, it can. In fact, this book is even better than I thought it would be.

Four friends, bonded since birth yet very different in personality and looks, find a pair of used blue jeans that magically fit each of them perfectly. Since they're about to spend their first summer apart, they make a pact to send the jeans back and forth amongst the four of them. This setup could easily backfire but it doesn't, and instead of being a distraction, the jeans serve to remind each girl of the friends that she has pulling for her from far away.

The individular storylines are each excellent, some funny, all moving, and I found myself moved to tears more than once. Tears, in fact, were streaming down my face, and I yet I loved it, because growing up definitely has moments like this. This really is a magical book, and teen girls are right on to like it as much as they do.

Wow. Where do I begin? yes, the begining was a little slow, but aren't all books? But the most I can say is too much for this box! My favorite series, the best oe is number 3, but this is where it all started. A good book on a realistic enough friendship for teens everywhere to relate. It's amazingly charming and the girs are a little bit of every girl around the world! I didn;t want it to end! I fell in love with the characters and they're boyfriends. :) Thank you Ann Brashares for these incredible books!

Friends since birth--their mothers were all in the same pregnancy aerobics class--they have spent almost every summer together. And now, for the first time ever, everyone is headed in different directions. Beautiful, artistic Lena will be in Greece with her grandparents, and Bridget is off to soccer camp in Mexico that is sure to put her tireless energy to the test. Carmen will finally have her father to herself for a whole summer in North Carolina, while poor Tibby will be stuck at home in Maryland, saving for a car But an unassuming pair of jeans, named the "Traveling Pants," transforms each of them. The power of these pants, sent from girl to girl, helps each of them through the trying experiences that often come with being 15 going on 16.

This is one of my favorite books!!!!!

This book is definetly a summer read that girls who spend the summer away from their friends can relate to. Far-fetched but inspiring to keep in touch with friends. Hurry and read it! You'll *heart* it!!!

This book was a great rainy day read. I loved how it was told with four different stories with four different girls who are all very different and all very best friends. my favorite character was Carmen. i liked how she just left her dad's. i don't think her dad should've acted the way he did, but if i were carmen i wouldn't have acted how she did. sometimes i wanted to cry because of how her father treated her. and i liked Lena and her story. i liked how she, in a way, confessed her love to the boy. i can't wait for the movie!!!!

I loved this story of four very different best friends. It was a great story about them and a mysterious lucky pair of jeans that just fit each of them perfectly. All their summer tales were filled with drama, love and anger. I loved it. It was a great read. I can't wait for the movie.

OMG!!!! I LOVED THIS BOOK. I COULD RELATE TO ALL FOUR MAIN CHARACTERS IN THIS BOOK. MY FAVORITE GIRLS WERE CARMEN AND BRIDGET. THIS BOOK IS ABOUT FOUR GIRLFRIENDS WHO BELIVE THAT THESE JEANS MAKE THEM DO SPECIAL THINGS, WHEN THEY ARE WEARING THEM. AFTER ONE GIRL USES THEM, SHE SENDS THEM OFF TO ANOTHER GIRL. THIS WAS A REALLY GOOD BOOK, AND IF YOU WANTED TO FINISH IT IN ONE DAY, YOU COULD. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO EVERYONE.

This book was really good. At first I didn't really want to read it because the first few chapters were kind of boring. they just told a little about the girls. After the first first few chapaters I got really into it. I couldn't stop reading because it was so exciting.

The story is about four girls who are best friends. Every summer they are together, until now. One of the girls bought a pair of pants that happened to fit all of them. They decided to send the pants to each other through out the summer with a letter that tell about eveything that happened. If you want to find out what happened over the summer, you shoud read the story.
