Don't be deceived by the teenybopper on the cover; this is actually a very thoughtful YA novel. One day Ginny gets a letter from her quirky aunt Peg with $1000 and instructions to buy a plane ticket. The thing is: her aunt is dead. As Ginny follows the instructions in each of the 13 little blue envelopes Ginny left her, she finds herself traveling through much of Western Europe, meeting fascinating people, and learning a lot about her aunt and herself.
