13 Little Blue Envelopes
Written by Maureen Johnson
Published by HarperTeen in 2006
352 pages.
Genre: Adventure, Romance
Summery: 17 year old Ginny gets a package with 13 little blue envelopes and 4 rules in it. It's from her dead aunt. Ginny travels to Europe, opening each of the numbered envelopes after she completes the task contained in the last. She meets all kinds of people and sees great sights.
Response: A fun travel book. It's entertaining, and the characters are well written. I like how Ginny is independent, but not in the typical rebellious teen way. There's not a lot of deeper stuff to think about, but I would recommend it. Don't be put off by the slightly skanky cover; Ginny is a very wholesome person.
Word of Caution: Some teen drinking, and a brief sex related scene wherein Ginny chooses the right and flees temptation. A reference to homosexuality.
