Author: Maureen grew up in an all girls Catholic school. She graduated from the University of Delaware with a degree in writing. She now resides in New York. Her writing is based on experiences from her own life as she traveled all over Europe.
Synopsis: Ginny's aunt ran off to Europe for two years. Later, Ginny and her mom received word that he aunt died but she left Ginny a gift -- 13 blue envelopes. They led her to Europe and following the directions on the envelopes Ginny is able to accomplish things she thought were impossible and learned a bit more about herself and her aunt.
Review: This is an absolutely fabulous coming of age story. Some of the situations are unrealistic -- example -- a teenager traveling Europe on her own. Her mom doesn't know where she is or have any way to contact her. Yeap, I'd have a hard time with that and my own children. However, it was still a wonderful story! Despite the fact that it was a totally different genre than I normally read, I couldn't manage to keep my nose out of it. I wanted to find out what happened next. I loved the story! It was super super cute!!
