The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants…
June 24, 2009
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, by Ann Brashares, is one of my favorite books ever. In this post I will type the information on the back of the book, so you can have a bit more knowledge on the sisterhood.
Four Very different friends. One pair of magical pants. And a summer apart…
We, the Sisterhood hereby instate the following rules to govern the use of the Traveling Pants:
1. You must never wash the Pants.
2. You must never double cuff the Pants. It’s tacky. There will never be a time when this will not be tacky.
3. You must never say the word “phat” while wearing the Pants. You must also never think “I am phat” while wearing the Pants.
4. You must never let a boy take off the Pants (although you may take them off yourself in his presence).
5. You must not pick your nose while wearing the Pants. You may, however, scratch casually at your nostril while really kind of picking.
6. Upon our reunion, you must follow the proper procedures for documenting your time in the Pants.
7. You must write to your Sisters throughout the summer, no matter how much fun you are having without them.
8. You must pass the Pants along to your Sisters according to the specifications set down by the Sisterhood. Failure to comply will result in a severe spanking upon our reunion.
9. You must not wear the Pants with a tucked in shirt and belt. See rule #2.
10. Remember: Pants=Love. Love your pals. Love yourself.
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was also quoted as:
“Funny, perceptive, and moving.”
-USA Today
“An outstanding and vivid book.”
-Publishers Weekly, Starred
I think that this book is amazingly realistic, you can relate to each of the characters, and you will find yourself smiling for joy, or crying for someone at times. It is a book that brings you to realize that friends are one of the most important things in your life. I would give this book 6 stars out of 5!
