Review: The Last Little Blue Envelope

At the end of 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson, Ginny had her bag stolen in Greece with her aunt's 13 little blue envelopes, the letters inside giving her instructions for European adventures.  Unfortunately, she only got through envelope #12.

Ms. Johnson continues the story in The Last Little Blue Envelope.  The final envelope turns up in the most unusual place...in an email.  Oliver, a Brit traveling in Greece, happened to purchase Gin's stolen bag when his own was lost.  He tracks her down and makes a proposal...in return for giving her back her letters, he and Gin follow the instructions which will lead them to some of Aunt Peg's artowrk.  They sell it and split the profit 50/50.  What alternative does Gin have? 

The Last Little Blue Envelope is a fun read.  It has great characters, a fun story and good writing.  While it helps a little to have read the first book, Johnson makes it easy to dive right in without prior knowledge of the characters.  So, do yourself a favor and get yourself a copy of The Last Little Blue Envelope.  To read my full review, click here.
