Retro Reads

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
By Ann Brashares

I read this book when I worked as a middle school counselor.  I was trying to stay hip with the young ones.  I decorated my office in one color (green).  I rode rollercoasters at the end of year field trip.  And I read ya lit.

I've got to admit.  I LOVED this book.  Babysitter's Club for the year 2000 set.  A perfect book for youngins wondering about divorce, death, young love and finding yourself.

Carmen is the character to love in this book.  She's human - jealous, goofed up, angry, real.

The movie is OK.  Expertly cast.  Amber Tamblyn, Blake Lively, Alexis Bledel and hmmmm.

And yes, they supposedly all wear the same magical pants.  Or something like that.
