Summary: The light and the dark.
Review: This was a great book about great friends. I love a light read like this in the summertime! Who doesn't? For another book on friendship - if you like dark and literary and funny as hell - try Sights by Susanna Vance. For a boy-book that's just fun - read Holes by L. Sachar. Younger kids that like weird and dark, should go with Coraline by Neil Gaiman. Read on, fabulous peers!

Summary: Friends to the end
Review: This is an example of best friends until the end. Nothing will keep them apart. Not even their completely different summer schedules, and personalities. Though they promise to write, they find an even more touching way to stay together. Through a pair of jeans from a thrift shop.
Bridget, Lena, Tibby, and Carmen, all have a completely different body structure, but somehow these pants seem to flatter all of their bodies in many different ways. So, they decide to send the jeans to eachother during the summer, because they are so magical. And who knows if having those pants altered their futures at all? Were the pants really magical?

The pants tag along with Lena, the beautiful one of the sisterhood, on her trip to visit her family in Greece. Despite Lena's beauty, she has problems with boys because she finds them only attracted to her body, and not her personality. With the pant's help, of course, Lena finds herself meeting Kosto, a family friend of her Greek family, who teaches her self confidence, and how to love.
Bridget, the flirtatious soccer queen, is off to an intense soccer camp in far-off Mexico. While meeting competitive soccer players like herself, she also stumbles upon the gorgeous Eric. The problem is that he's off-limits, being as he's a counselour. Even through Bridget's tempting attempts at getting Eric, the experience turns into a disaster that just confuses Bridget.
The hispanic Carmen, flees to her divorced father's house in South Carolina. She is excited at first, but when she learns about her father's new fiancee and family, she can't hold her anger in and ends up even scarung herself with her anger with her father and his soon-to-be wife who makes Carmen feel self-conscious about her hispanic background. I can really relate to Carmen's story because I have divorced parents to, and have very often come upon surprises at my dad's house at she has.
Tibby, unlike her friends, spends her summer at exotic- Walmart. Though Tibby's tough, and very casual, she develops a soft spot that summer. After accompanying a twelve year old on her trip in the ambulance, she meets Bailey, who surprisingly enough, has leukemia. You wouldn't know it though, because she, like Tibby, is very tough and out-spoken. Their friendship evolves that summer into a relationship that Tibby can't let go of.
This book deals with common problems, such as strong, attractions, friendship, family, overcoming fear,and loss. Applies to everyone. Everyone should give this book a chance, because though it is general, it is a unique way of putting it together.

Summary: different type of book
Review: I enjoyed this book. It centers on 4 best friends who are being seperated. Tibby stays home in Maryland. Bridget goes to Baja California to a came. Lena goes to Greece. Carmen goes to South Carolina to see her father. Each of the girls have a different experience but still stay together with a magical pair of pants which help them through all their hard times. I read this during the summer and it kind of is a summer book. If you dont read this during the summer you are kind of sad that it is school vacation in the book and not in real life. This book has many surprises, twist and turns, and makes up a good read!

Review: This book was so great that I read it in one day!! It is about four teenage girls who have been friends forever and this is the first summer that they are going to be apart. The story is just about what happens to each girl. It was a really fun read and I could see some of myself and some of my friends from high school in each of these characters! The book made me laugh and at the same time made me value all of the great friends that I have!!

Summary: Tip Top of the Line
Review: Wow. This book captures the true essence of life long friendship. It made me feel good about myself and my friends. It tells the story of these girls, Carmen, Bridgette, Lena, and Tibby, and how they all go different places in the summer while being connected by this pair of pants. At first this idea seemed incredibly corny, stupid, niave, etc., but it was nothing but excellent. I recommended it to all my friends and family. The thing is, all these girls go through so many of the things most teenagers go through and it made it so true to life. It is definetly an exquisite read.
