“Would
you follow the directions?
Would you travel the world?
Would you open the envelopes one by one?
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-
through utterly romantic- results. But will she ever see him again?
Everything about Ginny will change this
summer, and it’s all because of 13 little blue envelopes.”
My
Rating: 4.5/5
I have never read a book with
this kind of story line, and I love it. I think that many teenagers can relate
to this story, about being shy and not being able to do for ourselves. At the same time it’s about an experience
that not many teens have had. I don’t know how many of us have had the chance
to backpack through Europe, but it sounds pretty awesome to me. I think that
Maureen Johnson uses enough imagination that the readers can visualize the
places that the main character travels and it has honestly inspired me to try
more traveling before I get too settled in life. I think this book is inspiring
and all teens should read it before they graduate. I think everyone has one
dream that they wish to fulfill before they have to actually start planning and
planning a life.
THANK YOU MAUREEN JOHNSON FOR
HELPING ME UNDERSTAND THE BACKPACKING THROUGH EUROPE TREND!
Thanks for reading,
Love,
Sidny xoxo
