Product Description:
Inside little blue envelope 1 are $1,000 and instructions to buy a plane ticket.
In envelope 2 are directions to a specific London flat.
The note in envelope 3 tells Ginny: Find a starving artist.
Because of envelope 4, Ginny and a playwright/thief/ bloke–about–town called Keith go to Scotland together, with somewhat disastrous–though utterly romantic–results. But will she ever see him again?
Everything about Ginny will change this summer, and it's all because of the 13 little blue envelopes.
Ages 12+

I thought the premise of 13 Little Blue Envelopes sounded really interesting - a seventeen-year-old girl sent on a trip across Europe by her aunt, with only 13 letters from her aunt to guide her. It was great reading about all the destinations that Ginny was fortunate enough to visit; I was only sorry that in some, she didn't get to enjoy them for all they were worth!
Ginny herself was a great character. Insecure and unsure of herself, it is amazing what she accomplishes on her own over ... Read More

What would you do if you aunt ran away and you never saw her again? Well this is what happened to Ginny. Ginny's aunt is completely strange shes creative, and an artist. She ran away from her house two years ago and didn't tell them her address she just let her family know she was alright. Well after two years had passed they got a phone call explaining that her aunt died of cancer. Ginny is extremely upset, because she truly loved her aunt. The book begins explaining this, and how two weeks later she ... Read More

13 Little Blue Envelopes stood out to me on the large book shelf of the bookstore mostly because it was about a girl traveling in Europe alone. As I formerly resided there and have a fascination with the continent, I thought this book right up my alley. Certainly the book doesn't fail entirely, but it is a very shabby waste of money.

It was a good story, but it had some problems. First of all, none of the characters were really likeable.
On top of all that, I found Maureen's writing to be pretty bland. I mean, Ginny is on this crazy adventure around Europe, but the whole thing lacked any excitement. She could have been describing her math homework, for all the enthusiasm the girl had.
It wasn't terrible though, and if nothing else it made me really want to go back to Europe and just bum around for a few months, ... Read More

Great plot, but, the author didn't know how to make a good "adventure" ou of it. It could've been a "i can't put this down" kind of book, but instead it was more like a "let me just finish this to get it over with".
SPOILER : I hated how she loses the last letter or whatever. I was like ? what the hell? this is the whole reason why you're doing this! She should've been more careful with them. Even though everything works out in the end..
I don't like how her romance with the kid she met kinda fades ... Read More
