Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Inside little blue envelope 1 are $1,000 and instructions to buy a plane ticket.
In envelope 2 are directions to a specific London flat.
The note in envelope 3 tells Ginny: Find a starving artist.
Because of envelope 4, Ginny and a playwright/thief/bloke-about-town called Keith go to Scotland together, with somewhat disastrous — though utterly romantic — results. But will she ever see him again?
Everything about Ginny will change this summer, and it's all because of the 13 little blue envelopes.

This is a great comming of age read for young ladies. Ginny goes from a sheltered teen to a citizen of the world as she begins to see herself, her aunt and her world in new ways as she follows the path of the bule envelopes. With the exception of the ending, which was weak, this is a wonderful book and I reccomend it.

hmm.. I absolutly loved the book.. besides the ending.. I got the book where at the end it had little extras written by the author.. i found it weird that Johnson had said that she wrote like 3 drafts but always knew how the ending would be.. I thought that was the worst possible way she could've ended her story. Now i am going to remember this book in a bad way because of that last letter. Sorry Johnson, nice try tho.
