The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

by Ann Brashares 44444

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is about four teenage friends named Lena, Carmen, Bridget, and Tibby. They have known each other since they were born. Their moms took the same birthing class and were close friends until Bridget’s mom died. After that the mothers grew apart but the girls stayed best friends and they still are sixteen years later.

One day, Carmen found an old pair of pants in a store and something in her mind told her they were special. So she bought them and when she went home she threw them in her closet and forgot about them. Later in the year, Carmen invited Lena, Bridget, and Tibby over to her house. They were sitting on the bed talking when one of the girls walked over to Carmen’s closet and saw the pants. Bridget tried them on and they fit her perfectly. Lena tried them on and somehow they fit her perfectly as well. When Tibby tried them on and they fit her as perfectly as they fit the others, they all freaked out. How could the pants fit all those girls who had such different shapes and sizes??? It was decided that the pants were magical and would be known as the traveling pants.

During the summer, each girl had them for two weeks and they had to write about something exciting they did while wearing the pants. The pants could never be washed. The girls made a whole list of rules about what they could and couldn’t do while wearing the pants. It was decided that Lena should have the pants first because she was traveling to Greece, the farthest place from home.

Did Lena find her true love in Greece? Did Carmen find out a secret her dad had been keeping? Did Tibby make a new friend in danger? Did Bridget fall head over heels for her new soccer coach? Find out when you read this amazing story of four girls with an everlasting friendship and a magical pair of pants.
