The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is the book that started it all! It is 336 pgs. This is one of the most amazing books I have ever read. Here are some backgrounds for each of the girls.

During a shopping expedition in a thrift store the girls find a pair of pants and Carmen buys them--their only $3.00 so what the heck?! So when they are at Carmen's house Tibby tries them on then Bridget, Lena then Carmen. They fit ever single one of the girls! And this is like virtually impossible because the girls are different body types and heights.

The Girl's moms met at a aerobics class for pregnant women and all the girls are born in September within a week of each other. The girls have been bonded since birth.

They have never spent a summer apart so they decide to share the pants and then document the pants when they get back together. Lena gets them first because she is going to Greece to see her Grandpa and Grandma.

Lena- Lena and her sister go to Greece to visit their Grandparents. During her visit shy Lena meets Kostos. They start seeing each other more and its kind of like the story of Romeo and Juliet--the family has a long going feud which isn't good for either of them.

Carmen- Carmen goes to visit her dad. But when she gets there she learns that her dad got engaged and she now has 2 step-siblings. She is not happy. Her dad keeps ignoring her and spends so much time planning the wedding that she gets mad and runs away. When she comes back she realizes nobody went to go looking for her, so she throws a rock at the window and goes back home.

Bridget- Bridget's mom died recently so she goes to Baha California for soccer camp for the summer. When she is there (remember this is a girls' camp) One of the coaches is a boy, and Bridget is determined to get him. She falls in love with him and will do whatever it takes to get him. But something happens, and she really wished that she had her mother there. She is depressed. So all of the girls come to her and try to fix it.


Tibby- Tibby is the only one of the 4 girls who has to stay at home for the summer. So she gets a job at Wal-Mans to save up money and in her spare time she plans on making her Suckumentary. One day while working at Wal-Mans a little girl faints and she calls the ambulance. She finds the girl and gives her wallet back to her. Without her consent the little girl Bailey makes herself Tibby's assistant and follows her everywhere. Tibby gets annoyed but then finds out that Bailey has leukemia. One day Bailey takes a turn for the worse, and Tibby gets really sad--even though at first she hated this little girl, she grew to love her. As us all.
