Synopsis
During their first summer apart, four teenage girls, best friends since earliest childhood, stay in touch through a shared pair of secondhand jeans that magically adapts to each of their figures and affects their attitudes to their different summer experiences., Friends since birth--their mothers were all in the same pregnancy aerobics class--Tibby, Lena, Bridget, and Carmen have spent almost every summer together. And now, for the first time ever, everyone is headed in different directions. Beautiful, artistic Lena will be in Greece with her grandparents, and Bridget is off to soccer camp in Mexico that is sure to put her tireless energy to the test. Carmen will finally have her father to herself for a whole summer in North Carolina, while poor Tibby will be stuck at home in Maryland, saving for a car by working at a drugstore, hideous green smock and all. But an unassuming pair of jeans, dubbed the "Traveling Pants," transforms each of them. The power of these pants, sent from girl to girl, helps each of them through the trying experiences that often come with being 15 going on 16. The first book in the best-selling series SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS.

Industry Reviews
"Brashares handles the disparate threads well, with a companionable, sisterly tone that carries the reader through the quick and constant changes from viewpoint to viewpoint (usually bridged by a letter from one of the girls to another) even before the girls' identities are clearly established."
