The story is about a girl named Ginny, who is seventeen. When her Aunt Peg dies, she recieves a letter containing thirteen numbered envelopes. These envelopes contain instructions for an adventure through Europe. Ginny travels to Europe, where she meets the uncle she didn't know she had. As she opens each envelope she discovers frustrating things about her aunt, and things about herself. While she travels, she falls in with a boy named Keith, and he travels with her. As she gets closer to the end of her journey, her last envelope is stolen. The sequel to this book is called The Last Little Envelope, where the person who stole the last envelope decides to drag her on another adventure.
This book is about self discovery. As Ginny delves into her aunt's thoughts, she reflects on her own life. It is a greast story for young high school girls, however, in a classroom setting, it would be difficult to incorporate it.
