I recently started reading 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson. I am enjoying it so far. In the first part of the book, the main character, Ginger, gets a letter from her lost aunt saying that she has written Ginger several little notes to lead her on a journey. The letter ends by saying, "see you at the 4th Noodle." So, Ginger goes to the 4th Noodle -- a local restaurant. At the 4th Noodle, one of the people working there gives her a box. In the box there are a 13 little blue envelopes. They are marked with numbers 2 to 13. The letter marked number 2 say, "open me on the plane." The original letter from her aunt told her to get a flight to London. While on that flight she opens the 2nd letter. It tells her that when she arrives in London she should walk until she sees a house on the left marked "54a." Then she should knock on the door and wait for the person to open the door. She follows the instructions and a man opens the door and starts talking to Ginger. He says he has to go to work and invites Ginger to go along with him.
I think this book will be very interesting. I can't wait to see what is in all of the other little blue envelopes and where they lead Ginger to in Europe. I also can't wait to see who else she meets and whether she runs into her aunt along the way. I wonder what the aunt will be like.
