Genre: Teen Fiction
Stars: 4 out of 5
Ginny has just received thirteen letters from her deceased aunt telling her to pack her bags for an adventure of a lifetime. Ginny has to follow the rules of each letter that will take her all throughout Europe, a trip that her aunt herself made before her death. Along the way Ginny meets an interesting English man whose play catches her interest, sees Roman architecture, roams the streets of Paris, tags along with a family in the Netherlands and so much more. What kinds of things is her crazy aunt going to make her do in this fun and quick read?
I have a NookColor and this was one of the “free Friday” books that you can download every week. It sounded like fun and so I decided to read it. It was a relief to have a teen book that was not in the first person like so many teen books are nowadays. It was a clever and charming read that was quick and to the point with each letter. You watch the main character grow up and enjoy the confidence she builds. However, don’t think it’s very realistic for a teenage girl to go off to Europe by herself. All in all I enjoyed this little novel and I will pick up the next book “The Last Little Blue Envelope.”
