Front Cover
Dell Laurel-Leaf, Apr 26, 2005 - Juvenile Fiction - 352 pages
Carmen got the jeans at a thrift shop. They didn't look all that great; they were worn, dirty, and speckled with bleach. On the night before she and her friends part for the summer, Carmen decides to toss them. But Lena decides they should all try them on. Whoever they fit best will get them.
Nobody knows why, but the pants fit everyone perfectly. . .
Take the "New York Times" bestselling book and pair it with a perfect cast, a screenplay from one of Hollywood's most respected writers, and gorgeous locales like Vancouver, Baja, and Santorini, and you have "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," the teen girl movie of summer 2005 from Alcon Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures!
- Ken Kwapis directs a dream cast: Alexis Bledel ("Gilmore Girls") as Lena, 2004 Emmy nominee Amber Tamblyn ("Joan of Arcadia") as Tibby, America Ferrara ("Real Women Have Curves") as Carmen, and newcomer Blake Lively as Bridget.
- Screenplay by Delia Ephron--the screenwriter behind "You've Got Mail" and associate producer of "Sleepless in Seattle."
- The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants received enormous recognition including starred reviews, was named an ALA Best Book for Young Adults, is a Book Sense Book of the Year, a "Publishers Weekly" Flying Start, and won the hearts of teen girls across the country--and continues to be a "New York Times" Bestseller.
