I started reading this book and within two hours I was nearly half way finished. I have never heard of Maureen Johnson before I watched a youtuber say show it and then I thought it would be a good read...I now know why it has mixed reviews...I am the same...it's not good but it's not bad.
13 Little Blue Envelopes is a book about Ginny, who gets a letter from her aunt explaining to her that she has to go collect a box contains 12 more envelopes and in these envelopes are instructions and items to help her along the way. Unbeknown to Ginny in the beginning, her aunt is dead and once she knows this, she goes of this mad hunt with instructions in the blue envelopes.
I like this book for two reasons. 1. I like the way we get to read what the aunt wrote instead of Ginny just explaining what they said and 2. It's unlike any book I've ever read. Unfortunately I didn't like the storyline and I felt like it was a wasted journey when she lost the last envelope and I felt like the whole story didn't make any sense. I can't see the point of the 'whole go around the world only to end up back where you started' kind of thing and to me that was pointless. Ginnys character was bland and confusing as to why her real names called Virginia but everyone calls her Ginny...unless I missed that bit...
It's a book I wouldn't recommend and I wouldn't re-read it that's why I and giving it Two out of Five?
