Summary: Carmen, one of the four main characters in the book, buys a pair of jeans for $3.49 at a thift shop and doesn’t think much of it. When she gets together with Lena, Tibby and Bridget before they are all parting ways for the summer, they all try on the jeans and realize that the jeans fit each of them in very different ways. They decide that they are going to let the jeans tell the story of their summer. SO.....each of them will have the jeans for a week. After the week is up, they will send the jeans on to the next girl on the list with a journal of what they did when they were in the jeans. One cannot possibly imagine what kind of journey these four girls embark on during the summer while wearing these jeans! Fantastic book!
