I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I was very dubious about the cover; it looked like yet another airy-fairy chick-lit about yet another teenage girl going to Europe to "find herself". And to be fair, it is somewhat exactly that, but the way Maureen Johnson writes the character Ginny completel...
This book would have been awesome to read when I was in high school and always dreaming about going on adventures. Unfortunately, I've traveled and experienced a lot since then, so I don't have the same wide eyed wonder that I used to. I would highly recommend it to teen readers, but as an adult, it...
I enjoyed this fast-paced book, and going along on the journey with Ginny. It all starts out with her Runaway Aunt leaving 13 Blue Enelopes with instructions for her to follow. Ginny goes along with it, and along the way she makes new friends, finds new love, and discovers things she never new about...
13 Little Blue Envelopes is full of a wide range of emotion. I went through intense bipolar episodes while reading through Ginny’s adventures. I felt Ginny’s love for her Aunt Peg, her fear of following the instructions in the envelopes, her wonder of Western Europe as she travelled through it, and ...
This is more like 3.5 stars. Not quite 4 though. The descriptions were great, and the lesson learned was important, but it wasn't the best book I've read lately.Ginny's aunt was always a little flighty. She was here and there, but always there for Ginny. That is until her aunt ran off and never came...

Each letter has a task that Ginny must complete before she opens the next one. The destinations t...
A joy to read. Reminded me of my traveling days. Except I didn't have a creative artist aunt who sent me on a fun, mysterious, hostel-expenses paid sort of scavenger hunt with a life-changing surprise at the end.I have to say that I wasn't too taken with Keith, but Ginny was, so that's okay. And I ...
I loved this book it was such a refreshing change to the books I’ve been reading of late. The story was about a 17 year old American girl whose aunt had run off to Europe a few years earlier and died of a brain tumour while she was away.During her illness the aunt had written 13 letters to her niece...
