The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
by Ann Brashares.
Great “Teen Reads” can stimulate great teen writing. Connect books to movies with this choice book. Love, loyalty, and loss – four best friends face all three with the help of a magical pair of jeans. During their first summer apart, Tibby, Lena, Bridget, and Carmen use the pants to fulfill their wishes and connect their lives. The first book in the series, Sisterhood introduces us to strong teen characters, and follows them through the good and bad times. Ask students to compare the characters and actions in the book to those portrayed in the major motion picture.
