The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

This book is about four best friends and their first summer apart. The girls names are Lena, Tibby, Bridget and Carmen. They are really sad that they will not be spending their summer together, and on their last night as a group they find a pair of pants that seem to be magical. They look like boring, old fashioned jeans, but they look great on all of the girls even though they all look really different. Lena, Tibby, Bridget and Carmende decide that these magical pants will be the thing that connects them when they are apart over the summer. Lena would get the pants first for two weeks, then Tibby, Bridget and Carmen. All of the girls promised to take care of the pants and follow the rules that they made for the pants. Some of the rules were: "You must never wash the pants." and "Upon our reunion, you must follow the proper procedures for documenting your time in the pants: -On the left leg of the pants, write the most exciting place you have been while wearing the pants. -On the right leg of the pants, write the most important thing that has happened to you while wearing the pants." It is creative how the girls make sure that they do not lose contact with each other over the summer by having the pants be their connection.
Ever since I started this book I could not put it down. It is one of those books where something exciting is happening at all moments. Also, it is like four separate stories in one book and it is fun to see how they all connect at the beginning and end of the book.
