The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

by Ann Brashares

Summary: Carmen, Lena, Tibby, and Bridget are more like sisters than friends, but they couldn't be more different. When a pair of Carmen's thrift store jeans impossibly fit their very different body types perfectly, they decide to incorporate the pants into their summer. As the girls each have separate adventures, the pants link them together in inexplicable and almost magical ways.

My thoughts: This is a great story, but what makes Sisterhood truly special is the writing. Every girl will see herself in at least one of these characters. If you've seen the movie and think you don't need to read the book, think again! I'll be the first to admit it if a movie is better than the book, but this is NOT the case with Sisterhood! Three more books follow this series starter.
