They were just an ordinary pair of jeans bought in a second-hand shop. But when four girls discover that the jeans look good on all of them, despite their different figures and heights, they realize"these are magical trousers"!

The four girls-Carmen, Tibby, Lena and Bridget-have been best friends all their lives. They live in the same small American town and usually spend every moment of their long summer holidays together.

This year they all turn 16. It is the first time they have had separate plans for the summer, but the girls are determined to keep in touch. They hit upon a wonderful plan of sharing the jeans throughout the holiday by sending them on to the next friend when they feel the time is right.

When they meet up at the end of the summer, they will record their favorite adventures on the trouser legs.

Based on American writer Ann Brashares’ best-selling novel, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants tells the story of the girls’ summer trips. It will be released on June 1 in the United States.

Beautiful Kena is going to Greece to be with her grandparents; strong, athletic Bridget is off to a football camp in Mexico; hot-tempered Carmen plans to have her divorced(离婚的) father all to herself in South Carolina; Tibby, the rebel will be left at home to work hard for little money.

Over the summer the jeans come to represent friendship and growing up. Lena finds ways to communicate with her grandpa, which she once thought was boring; Bridget falls in love with an older camp coach; Carmen finds out her father is engaged to a woman with two children; Tibby makes friends with a 12-year-old who is dying of cancer.
