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.

Publisher's Note
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 friends part for the summer, Carmen decides to toss them. But Tibby says they’re great. She’d love to have them. Lena and Bridget also think they’re fabulous. Lena decides they should all try them on. Whoever they fit best will get them. Nobody knows why, but the pants fit everyone perfectly. Even Carmen (who never thinks she looks good in anything), thinks she looks good in the pants. Over a few bags of cheese puffs they decide to form a sisterhood, and take the vow of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants . . . the next morning, they say good-bye. And now the journey of the pants–and the most memorable summer of their lives–begins.

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."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (12/01/2001)

Book Condition Information

This is some general information about the condition of the books I sell. 

- The pages and spine are intact.  Some pages may have crease marks from being folded over.

-A name or inscription may be written on one of first few pages.

- A few pages may contain a minimal amount of notes, underlining, or highlighting. In general, I try to avoid selling books with any writing or marking (other than name or inscription) in them. However, as it would be impossible to check every page of every book, a few may have markings in them.  If I know that the book has numerous pages that are marked in some way, I will make a note of it in additional comments.

- The cover design may differ from the one pictured. 

- Hardcover books:  Have dust jackets (unless book looks like it was published without one).  The dust jackets are in good condition, but may show average wear, have some damage, or have small, repaired tears.  If there is more than average damage or the dust jacket is obviously missing, I will make a note of it in additional comments.  Children's picture books might not have dust jackets.

- Softcover books:  Front covers are always present.  The covers are in good condition, but may show average wear or have minor damage.  The spines may show crease marks and have a slight curve or slant.

- Currently these books are being stored in a non-smoking environment, but their prior history is unknown.

- Additional comments:  None.

 

Overall, these books are in good condion.  They are similar to what you would find in a second-hand book shop.  There is nothing horribly wrong with them, but they have been read before and show a bit of wear.
