Read MoreBook Review: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
Lena, Bridget, Tibby, and Carmen have been best friends
since birth. Now, just before they are about to spend their first
summer apart, they discover a pair of jeans that miraculously
fits all of them, despite their differing physiques. And not just
fit -- the Pants make each girl look, and feel, beautiful and
confident. They don't know it yet, but they'll need that
confidence during a summer that will test them, each in different
ways.
That's all the magic, if such it is, that comes from the
Pants themselves -- the rest comes from the powerful love these
girls share, which travels with the pants. In a solemn midnight
ceremony, the kind of solemnity of which perhaps only teenage
girls are capable, they make up a compact about the Pants, part
of which is that they will send them back and forth among
themselves throughout the summer. Thus they will be present
during each girl's time of crisis and tie the strands of the
story together engagingly, if somewhat artificially.
