The first book in the Traveling Pants series, this novel begins the tale of four best friends separated over summer vacation. The story begins in Maryland, but as the summer begins Lena travels to Greece, Bridget is off to soccer camp, Carmen is going to visit her father in South Carolina, all while Tibby is stuck at home. These four girls have been friends since birth, are rarely separated, and are not looking forward to being apart all summer long.Just before they all begin their separate adventures, the find a pair of pants in a thrift shop that miraculously fits all four of them (and considering Bridget tall and slender and Carmen is short and curvaceous, this is no small wonder). The pants become their bond. Though apart by location, they send the pants and letters to one another and it keeps them together. Each girl has their own set of struggles throughout the summer, but the common bond helps them through. This is a great story of friendship, teen misadventures, and growing a little bit older day by day.
