Brotherhood of The Traveling Pants is a book based on the real adventures of a couple of medilsome kids simply trying to discover friendship, love, purity, and what it means to be a man. Much like Brokeback Mountain it raises emotions to a higher level. Although not widely known everyone who reads it becomes enticed to describe the adventures, and encourages fellow readers for future generations. It has sold over 200,000 copies and translated into 10 languages around the world. North Korea has even allowed its citizens limited access to the book but has claimed it has taken out all references to homosexuality (this is in question because the entire book would arguably have to be deleted).
