Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants #1

  Carmen, Tibby, Bridget, and Lena have been a foursome since before they were born. Now they are approaching their first summer apart. Lena is going to Greece to stay with her grandparents, Bridget is going to soccer camp in Mexico, Carmen is going to South Carolina to stay with her dad, and Tibby is staying home.
    The Pants were bought at a thrift store. Carmen thinks they're ugly and wants to toss them, but Tibby, Lena, and Bridget think they're beautiful. Lena suggests that everyone--including Carmen--must try on the Pants, and whoever the jeans fit best gets them. But the Pants fit all of them perfectly. And so the Sisterhood was born.
   Throughout the summer, the foursome keep in touch using the Pants. Whoever has the Pants must inscribe the best thing that happened to them on the Pants before sending it to the next person. 
  This book is a quick read but really enjoyable. A great book for teens and adults alike!
