The book "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" by Ann Brashares is a great book, especially for young girls. The 2005 movie Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is in fact made from this book. I actually saw the movie before I read the book and enjoyed both of them, even though there were a few things here and there that were different between the two. Basically, the two are about four young high school girls who discover a pair of jeans that just so happen to fit all of them. The fact that the pants fit each girl so well is odd considering they are all different in size. With these "magical" pants, the girls make a vow to share these pants over the summer when they are apart from eachother. Each girl has the pants for so long and is then supposed to send the pants, as well as a letter of her adventures, to the next. Throughout the book each girl experiences much growth and maturation through their journeys of friendship, love, misfortunes, and family issues. It's with these experiences and witht the pants that the girls grow closer together as friends, even though they are apart from one another most of the book. This book can relate to a few things we've read this semester. It deals with growth and maturation, journeys/adventures, challenges and heartaches, as well as a sense of magic too. Even though this book and the three others in the series are meant for young teens I still enjoyed it. I wouldn't even mind reading the others, and I can't wait for the sequel to the movie to come out either!
