I read the books, (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Second Summer of the Sisterhood, Girls in Pants: The Third Summer of the Sisterhood) then watched the movie -- twice. Once each with my daughters (13 and 10). We all loved the movie and the soundtrack. Brasheres said in a craft talk I went to recently that she didn't have anything to do with writing the screenplay. Kudos to the producers and screenwriters for being true to the spirit of the book and the characters. Kudos to the actors for their fine work.
As for the books, Brasheres sustains her formula (pants sent from girl to girl, story follows) very well in all three books. Her characters continue to be complex, interesting people. Great chick-lit for summer reading -- for 10 and up, and I mean grown-ups too!

I'm an elementary school librarian who loves to read and share new books with others. Here is where I review books, talk about reading and information technology.
