My Review:

It all starts with thirteen little blue envelopes that she receives from her aunt Peg, who past away a few months ago.. Her family knows her aunt as to be a bit odd, but Ginny has always respected her aunt and love to do things together with her.... Until she disappears four months ago... When she receives the first blue envelope from Peg in the mail, it sends her on an exciting, funny, and sometimes poignant adventure. The envelope contains $1,000 in cash, and the instructions to pick up a package of envelopes that start Ginny on a trip around Europe, tracing the steps of her eccentric Aunt... And the rules are are specific; no cell phones, no maps, and instructions to fellow each one and only open one envelope at a time...

Though out the letters... Ginny will learn the truth of why her aunt left and flee to Europe in pursuit of her art, and about her last year of life.. Through-out her journey and adventures... It's surprising when Ginny discovers things about her life and more about herself.. Her own strength, ingenuity, love and her ability to forgive, and that she, too can be interesting person. Everything about Ginny will change this summer, and it's all because of 13 Little Blue Envelopes.....
My Thoughts:
-This book was amazing...A young girl going on a crazy adventure to discover what happen to her aunt, but along the way discovers more about herself that she never knew about....
-I really enjoyed how you felt like you were right there traveling along side with Ginny.. And the truths that she discovers along the way about her aunt, helps her to discover her real self and open up for the first time...
-The plot in this book is amazing, the places that Ginny goes to is so cool. I love how it was detail so well and I also enjoyed the characters in this book too.
-Ginny a girl who has never done anything crazy before characters in this book too. Ginny a girl who has never done anything crazy before in her life, until she finds herself going al round the world to discover herself... The cute playwright she meets in London, the annoying family of Americans with a "schedule" in Amsterdam, To the crazy artist friends of her Aunt...
-So in other words you should pick this book up, and get hook on the adventure along the way yourself..
-And I give this book 5/5 stars..
