Best friends Lena, Tibby, Bridget, and Carmen are preparing to spend their first summer apart since they were born. Before leaving to visit her father, Carmen buys a pair of second-hand jeans on a whim, and when the others discover that the pants fit all of them, they create the sisterhood of the travelling pants. Each girl gets them for a few weeks before sending them on, and thus they travel from Washington, DC, to Greece to California to South Carolina, linking the friends even as they are apart. Suggested level: secondary.

"Four friends are preparing to spend their first summer apart. When Carmen buys a pair of second-hand jeans, the girls find that despite their different physiques, the jeans look good on all of them. They promise to rotate the magical jeans, dubbed "the travelling pants" and meet again at summer's end. Age 12+. (SA: Year 6 - Year 9)."@en
"Carmen, Tibby, Lena and Bridget have been best friends all their lives. They live in the same small American town and usually spend every moment of their long summer holidays together. Tibby buys a pair of jeans in a second-hand shop and the girls discover that the trousers fit each of them perfectly, despite their different figures and heights."@en
"PLAYAWAY: Carmen got the jeans at a thrift shop. They didn't look all that great; they were worn, dirty, and speckled with bleach. On the night before she and her friend's part for the summer, Carmen decides to toss them. Whoever they fit best will get them. Nobody knows why, but the pants fit everyone perfectly. Over a few bags of cheese puffs they decide to form a sisterhood, and take the vow of The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. The next morning they say good-bye. And now the journey of the pants, and the most memorable summer of their lives, begins."
