this book is good for girls, it talks about what happens between a group of friends that have been togeather for a long time. It can get confusing sometimes but it is easy to get back on track with whats going on. ( )

loved it!! ( )

In their first summer apart, four 15 years old girlfriends find magic in a pair of traveling pants. They were bought at a thrift store and amazingly fit each of their very different body types. On the night before they all go their separate ways, the sisterhood decides the magical pants must “keep us together while we are apart.”
The pants go with Lena first to visit her grandparents in Greece. Lena is shy but beautiful, and is avoiding a set up with an 18 year old boy loved by everyone in the village. On the day she wears the pants (somehow ending up inside out), she causes accidental trouble for him, leading her to question her inability to trust.
Tibby gets them next at home in Washington, D.C. while working at a drugstore. She rescues a girl, who becomes a bit of a leech that she cannot seem to get rid of.
Tibby sends them to Carmen, visiting her dad in South Carolina due to her parents are split. She is expecting a lot of quality time with him, when he surprises her with a life changing event which she does not take too well.
Lastly Bridget gets them in Baja, California. She is at a soccer camp, and falls for an off limits counselor. While wearing the pants, she lets her emotions take over and must suffer the consequences.
These pants give support to the girls while they deal with changes and emotional growth.

a very good story. i listened to it so sometimes it was hard to remember who was who in names. the narrator was very good. ( )

After I read it, I can't honestly say that I saw a sequel coming. I didn't see it becoming popular either. It was okay, but it wasn't my favorite book ever. It was well written, a decent plot, decent ending, but it's not quite my cup of tea. 3/5 times I wonder how bad the pants smell since they're not allowed to wash them, even through blood stains, four books, and two movies.
