About the book
New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson’s funny, heartbreaking, and utterly romantic tale gets a great new cover!
Ginny Blackstone never thought she’d spend her summer vacation backpacking across Europe. But that was before she received the first little blue envelope from Aunt Peg.
This letter was different from Peg’s usual letters for two reasons:
1. Peg had been dead for three months.
2. The letter included $1000 cash for a passport and a plane ticket.
Armed with instructions for how to retrieve twelve other letters Peg wrote—twelve letters that tell Ginny where she needs to go and what she needs to do when she gets there—Ginny quickly finds herself swept away in her first real adventure. Traveling from London to Edinburgh to Amsterdam and beyond, Ginny begins to uncover stories from her aunt’s past and discover who Peg really was. But the most surprising thing Ginny learns isn’t about Peg . . . it’s about herself.
Everything about Ginny will change this summer, and it’s all because of the 13 little blue envelopes.
Look for the sequel, The Last Little Blue Envelope!
Following instructions from beyond the grave, will Ginny find the answers she’s looking for—or a person she never knew she could be?
- Backpacking Europe: From the streets of London to the canals of Amsterdam, Ginny follows her aunt’s cryptic clues on a whirlwind tour with a single backpack and a dwindling cash supply.
- Adventure and Romance: A journey filled with unexpected friendships, a mysterious musician named Keith, and the thrill of navigating a foreign country with no guidebooks or phone.
- Grief and Healing: As Ginny retraces Peg’s last journey, she grapples with the loss of her favorite aunt and begins to understand the vibrant, complicated woman she really was.
- Self-Discovery: Forced to rely on her own wits, a quiet girl from New Jersey discovers a strength and independence she never knew she possessed.
