13 Little Blue Envelopes- Maureen Johnson
This was a truly fascinating book. In the beginning I must admit it is a bit boring, however the storyline quickly progresses and one feels herself being drawn to the characters and even rooting for them at times. I love this book for many reasons. It is extremely well-written and has a plot unlike any other I have ever read. A young girl who was highly attached to her struggling artist aunt is faced with a challenge when her aunt passes away. She receives specific instructions for a summer-long, life-changing journey around Europe in these 13 Little Blue Envelopes. She meets several interesting characters along the way, finds her true sense of self, and discovers a few family secrets as well. The story ends in a typical novelist way, meaning the reader is left to ponder and imagine what happens after the book ends.
