Rating:  Summary: A good read about best friends Review: when i bought this book i immediately started to read it, and didn't stop until i was done. it is a great portrayal of how teenage girls act; how we sometimes are briming with confidence and sometimes just want to be told that we're loved. the book made me wish that i had three best friends like that, and i'm going to make all of my friends read the book. the sisterhood of traveling pants is simply a wonderful book about growing up and how even though your life changes, your best friends will always be there for you. it is one of the best stories about friendship and "coming of age" that i have read in a long time.
Rating:  Summary: Wonderfully Written Review: The Sisterhood is a great story. You get wrapped up in it and can't put it down. I find most books like this cheesy, but this one was so great, that I believe all girls aged 10-25 should read it. It's a great story of friendship and love, and I just fell in love with it. My favorite part was when Lena told Kostos... that made me cry. Everything about this book is great, and it should a) have a sequal written and b) be made into a movie. Keep up the good work Anne!
Rating:  Summary: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Review: The novel, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is a fun and adventurouse book for just about any teenage girl. It's about four girls who are best friends, going out on their own the whole summer. This story about friendship, love, and trust will keep you reading and wondering about what will happen next.The four girls in the story have very differing personalities and life styles. You won't have a problem finding a character who you can relate to. Lena is a somewhat shy, but very beautiful girl who thinks very modestly of herself. She has a very happy, loving family and is visiting her grandparents with her sister in Greece. There she finds out that her grand parents plan to match her up with the neighbor's very handsome grandson. Tibby is a wanna-be film maker who is working at Wallmans Grocery Store for the summer. She meets a younger girl with leukemia who is a pest at first but soon becomes her best friend. Bridgett, the most outgoing of the group, is a star soccer player who is going away to soccer camp for the summer. She sees the young, very good looking coach of one of the teams and sets her mind to win him. Carmen, the last of the girls, is a heavy set hispanic girl whose parents are divorced. She is going to her dads home over the summer expecting to have him all to herself, unaware of his new fiancee. The girls find these old pants that somhow fit and complement all of their different shapes and sizes. They promise to send the pants to one another throughout the summer untill they meet again. Each girl has their own story about the summer. Will the pants make the summer better or worse? I loved this book! I couldn't put it down, I just had to find out what was going to happen next. Sometimes I didn't want to read about some of the characters because their lives weren't as interesting to me as others,but I really loved the whole book. I would recommend it to any teenage girl who likes to read.

Rating:  Summary: Great Story -- Can Relate Review: I finally read this book last week and I thought it was pretty fantastic. The story was great, the book focuses not really on the pants, but on the girls' friendship. They spend the summer in four different places around the world and keep in touch with letters and the jeans. They all go through some sort of important event and its just about growing up. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because I didn't really like the ending.
Rating:  Summary: I'd really like to give it 5 stars but....... Review: ... The story sounded sort of like "The Joy Luck Club" for young adults. I was right. The story is incredibly moving and most readers will find themselves in one of the 4 girls. Their summers may not be ordinary and some parts of the story may seem unbelievable, such as Bridget and her soccer coach, but anyone who reads this has or eventually will go through a defining period like the ones that the four girls go through. However I did have one problem with the book, the story switched around much too quickly leaving readers hanging at crucial points which the author might have thought was building suspense, but really only made me frustrated. An excellent effort and I anxiously await the second one.
Rating:  Summary: Good Read Review: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was the best book I've read during fourth grade. This magical book, written by the one and only Ann Brashares, is about a pair of used vintage jeans bought by a maturing teen. A special quality of these pants is that they appear stylish on four different sized girls. Each girl is extremely nervous that their close friendship will grow far apart, because of the many places they will go over the summer. These four places are soccer camp, home working at the local market, staying with grandparents in Greece, and visiting newly married dad and his family. As you can see, this book has many different places to let your mind travel. The reasons I picked this book is because it is very descriptive, true to life, and long so you can enjoy the book for a longer amount of time. Lastly I picked this book because I really enjoyed the author's writing style.
Rating:  Summary: They really do Travel. Review: By Molly Conway, age 14 Teen Editor ... Ann Brashares has managed to intertwine the stories of these four best friends into one uplifting novel. The plot goes as follows. Four best friends, Carmen, Tibby, Bridget and Lena are very different girls but have been best friends since their pregnant mothers were in the same aerobics class. This coming summer is going to be their first apart from each other and they find the perfect way to stay in touch, the traveling pants. This unseeingly magical pair of jeans was found at a used clothing store yet it fits each of the girls beautifully despite their drastically different shapes. The pants begin their journey from girl to girl starting in Greece with Lena and her sister who are staying with their grandparents for the first time. Next they will go to Tibby who is not happy about staying home but makes the best or worst of it in her video Osuckumentary of her time working at Wallgreens. Next the pants will find their way to Carmen who is spending her first summer with her dad, and then to Bridget who is off to soccer camp. Then, they would go back to each girl in the opposite direction. The story flips from the escapades of one girl to the next as the summer progresses and no one finds what they expected out of it. The book is also sprinkled with quotes as the subject of the story changes making this book very nice for someone with a short attention span. Copyright 2002, Blue Jean Media, Inc.
