Book description
Summer is always a special time for the four teenage best friends: Bee,
Tibby, Carmen and Lena. They have the time to hang out, get jobs, share
secrets, discuss boys - and wear the amazing jeans they call the
travelling pants. This year there's an added poignancy as the girls know
this is their last summer together before going off to different
universities. With Lena defying her father, Carmen resenting her mother,
Bee rediscovering her first love and Tibby trying to escape her family,
the air is fraught with tension. Can the strength of their friendship
overpower the feuds in their families and leave the girls with happy
memories of the third summer of the sisterhood? A lover of travel and
of pants, Ann Brashares lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband
and three children. She still has a pair of jeans from tenth grade, but
they aren't magical and they don't fit any more.
