13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson

Emily's Comments: Have you ever dreamed of backpacking through Europe, no plan, no schedule, no camera, just you and an adventure? Ginny Blackstone receives 13 envelopes in the mail from her deceased Aunt Peg with the instructions to pack a bare minimum and board a plane to London. Each letter includes a specific assignment, and only after completing the task can the next letter be opened. Aunt Peg sends Ginny all over Europe teaching her to live, love, and forgive along the way. This is a great book! It is sweet without being sappy, fast paced without being fluffy, and keeps you on the edge of your seat as you travel with Ginny to complete each task and eagerly wait for her to open the next letter. Teens and adults alike will enjoy this adventure! Check Status at GPL
