Ginny is a 17 year old girl who is about to travel Europe...alone. Her aunt Peg was one of her best friends but was young and couldn't make final decisions in life. So she ended up leaving New York, and going to Europe, without telling Ginny or her parents. They were worried about her and recieved postcards from her every now and then. Only to find out months later, that Aunt Peg had had cancer and died. This is where the little blue envelopes come in to place. Aunt Peg wanted Ginny to know there WAS reason she left and she wanted Ginny to know everything that happened to her in Europe! So 13 little blue envelopes are ready to be opened once each task that`s in each envelope is finished. Her rules are: 1.She may bring only what fits in her backpack..no purse or carry on.
- She may only bring what fits in her backpack..no purse or carry on.
- She can`t bring guidebooks, phrase books, foreign language aid, or journals.
- She can`t bring extra money, credit/ debit cards, etc. Aunt Peg will take care of it all.
- No electronics alowed. This means no laptop, no cell phone, no music, and no camera. No communicating with people in the U.S by phone or by internet. Postcards and letters are encouraged.
The book 13 Little Blue Envelopes is made for someone who loves to travel, or dreams of going around Europe! This was full of surprises and made me want to find the next book right away! The ending is unexpected, and you do have to buy the next book "The Last Little Blue Envelope" to really know what will happen to Ginny, but I thought this novel is perfect for any teen! As long as you have the patience to read two books, of course! :)
