![]() ![]() ![]() Three of the story lines are very true to the book, although with slight variations. ![]() The pants are sent from Tibby (staying at home) to Bridget (in Baja California, Mexico at Soccer camp) to Carmen (with her father in North Carolina) to Lena (visiting her grandparents in Greece). They take this to mean the pants hold some sort of magic, so promise to send the pants to each other throughout the summer and use it as a way of keeping in touch with each other (thus - the traveling pants). Unbelievably, they find a pair of jeans which fits each girl amazingly well, although they have very different body shapes. Basically the book tells the story of 4 teenage girls who are experiencing their first summer apart ever, since they have known each other since birth. I believe the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants director and screenwriters did just that. As a lover of both books and film I ask that those who turn a book into a film follow the spirit and the feeling of the book. the film makers often need to adjust the story from the book to fit the film. Due to time limitations, creative ideas, etc. We often have expectations that a movie will follow a book to the letter. ![]()
