Friendships are an important part of every girl's life. The movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 explores the friendships of four girls and makes you realize just how precious good friends are and how great it is to share your life with them.
Carmen (America Ferrara), Bridget (Blake Lively), Lena (Alexis Bledel), and Tibby (Amber Tamblyn) are back for The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. It's the sequel to the original movie based on the popular books by Ann Brashares. It opens in theaters across the country on August 6, 2008.
The four girls have been friends since birth and share a magical pair of jeans that brings each of them special memories. In this sequel, the girls have just finished their first year at different colleges and will once again be spending the summer away from one another. Carmen decides to spend the summer in Vermont, working backstage at a theatre festival. Bridget goes to Turkey for an archaeological dig. Lena spends the summer at an art school. Tibby continues working on her filmmaking over the summer.
Even though they are not together, they keep in touch and are there for each other through difficult times. They learn to forgive and love, and they help each other figure out who they really are.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 is a wonderful film full of joy, sadness, friendship, and love. It is a great movie for everyone because it teaches you the value of friendships. However, it is rated PG-13 because as the characters grow older they experience more-mature situations in their lives. But everyone, whatever their age, will appreciate the message of the movie: No matter how tough times get, true friends will always be there for you. So grab your best friends and go see this movie!

The book features 60 pages of list ideas, games, and activities ranging from thought - provoking to just plain goofy. it's divided into five sections (Me & My Deep Thoughts, Boys & Other Animals, etc.), each with a different illustrator. Turns out that making list lends lends itself equally well to quiet contemplation or group giggles, depending on the day's mood.
A custom - designed, 150 - page, coil bound notepad and coordinating pencil make creating lists pretty near irresistible.

And, inside the book, special bound - in pocket pages wil store finished lists for all eternity. All of which makes Top 5 a blast for today, a keepsake for tomorrow, and a one - of - a - kind record of an opinionated life.
