Bookroo's summary

Four friends discover a pair of jeans that mysteriously fits each of them perfectly, despite their different shapes. As they part ways for the summer, they form a pact to share the pants, believing they hold the power to keep them connected. Carmen, Tibby, Lena, and Bridget embark on separate adventures, each facing personal challenges and unexpected twists. Will the pants bring them closer together or reveal hidden truths? This summer, the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants will test the strength of their friendship and change their lives forever.

From the publisher

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 that 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 then the journey of the pants and the most memorable summer of their lives begins.”
