The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, by Ann Brashares
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, by Ann Brashares,
is about the adventures of four best friends—Lena
Kaligaris, Tibby Rollins, Bridget Vreeland, and Carmen Lowell—during their
first summer apart. These girls are now in high school and have been best
friends since they were born. Before splitting apart that summer, Carmen finds
an old pair of jeans that somehow seems to fit each of the girls perfectly
despite their actual different sizes. When this happens, the girls come to
think that the pants are magical and decide to share the pants that summer
while separated.
This is a remarkably touching story about true friendship. One can definitely find themselves connecting to the girls’ experiences throughout their first summer apart while still trying to share the pair of pants with one another. I would recommend this book to teenage girls in particular because they can probably relate most to the story and the girls’ adventures

In my opinion, I really liked the story. It showed how four best friends came up with a unique idea on how to keep in touch during the summer. I thought the story was funny and interesting with all the different experiences each girl was facing and I personally think that the reader could relate to them.

This book was so sweet to me. It portrays the true meaning of what it is like to have friends with a sisterly bond, and even when they leave each other they are still wearing the each others cloths! Im sure a lot of young teens can relate to this! While I was reading this story, I truly felt like I was a part of this sisterhood. Ann has a great way of pulling the reader into the story and making the reader believe that you are kin with the people and adventures in the story. I think that is why alot of people are able to relate to this series. Men or women could read this book and be equally entertained! Thats how universal this story is. Its something everyone can relate to in one way or another. The bonds strengthened between these girls and their journeys through their individual summers is enough to bring a tear out of you. I definitely recommend this book!
