Great books, either singly or as a set. These are geared to the Tween girl readers (11-14). everyone loves them. There are now four volumes to the set.

These books are absolutely wonderful. This is the type of book for ages from middle schoolers to adults. The stories are easy to follow and it's so addicting you'll find yourself scrambling for the other books! I loved the movies and the books both for different reasons but I highly recommend reading the books as well. It was great getting lost in the bond of young friendship, first loves, and ambition. Things that are all too easy to forget about in the adult world.

shipped to 3rd party as gift, no problem with order, satisfied with service and product.

Love this author and each of these books are great in their own way. Good combination and nice packaging.

Courtney P. review of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares, March 16, 2008.

Four girls, Carmen, Lena, Tibby, and Bridget, had been loyal friends for as long as they remember. However, they have to spend an entire summer alone, because each girl has a different place to go. Just before they head their separate ways, they discover a pair of ordinary blue jeans that turn out to be extraordinary, because they fit each girl. They decide to share these pants during the summer by passing them around and keeping in touch with one another.
Carmen spends the summer at her dad's house, where she is unpleasantly surprised with his new wife, her two kids, and an entirely new lifestyle. Bridget is sent to Baja for a soccer camp where she falls in love with a coach who cannot love her. Lena goes to Greece where she meets a boy, Kostos, who is destined to be with her, but causes trouble along the way. Lastly, Tibby is left at home, working at a grocery store, and befriending a young girl with leukemia, who passes away. Each girl endures trials and tough decisions, but their bond is strong enough that each girl works through it. Even in the hardest times, the power of friendship can shine through. In the end, each of these friends end their summer even closer to one another, and stronger than ever before.
