Book #3 in the The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series
Four best friends share one magical pair of jeans during their last summer before college.
It is the last summer before Lena, Carmen, Bee and Tibby leave for four different colleges, and the Traveling Pants are launched on their third voyage. Carmen struggles with her mother's new marriage and a baby on the way, Lena takes a drawing class her father disapproves of, Bee works at a soccer camp where an old crush reappears, and Tibby faces a family crisis at home. Can their friendship, and the Pants, carry them through the summer that ends their childhood together?
The Pants first came to us at the perfect moment. That is, when we were splitting up for the first time. It was two summers ago when they first worked their magic, and last summer when they shook up our lives once again. You see, we don’t wear the Pants year-round. We let them rest so they are extra powerful when summer comes. (There was the time this spring when Carmen wore them to her mom’s wedding, but that was a special case.) Now we’re facing our last summer together. In September we go to college. And it’s not like one of those TV shows where all of us magically turn up at the same college. We’re going to four different colleges in four different cities (but all within four hours of one another—that was our one rule). We’re headed off to start our real lives. Tomorrow night at Gilda’s we’ll launch the Pants on their third summer voyage. Tomorrow begins the time of our lives. It’s when we’ll need our Pants the most.
