It's summer before the sisterhood departs for college... their last real summer together before they head off to start their grown- up lives. It's the time when they need their Pants the most.

Tibby. Learns that the Pants have always known what she hasn't about Brian, and clings to them tightly - while others around her leap headfirst.

Carmen. Needs all the Pants magic possible, now that she's agreed to watch Lena's cranky Greek grandmother for the entire summer. Not to mention that she's pretending to be someone she's not - to someone who could really matter...

Lena. Wishes the Pants could tell her whether going to art school is the dream she should follow, even if it means her family won't support her.

Bridget. Is especially glad to have the Pants at soccer camps when she finds out who her fellow coach is.

In this breathtaking novel, which brims with sunshine and sorrow, courage and happiness, Ann Brashares takes readers on an amazing journey into a summer that will change everything for the girls and their cherished magical Pants.
