Okay, first of all, I just got to mention this: Apparently according to Johnson, every freaking Asian that goes to Europe is Japanese. That just really bugged me. Since this book involves traveling, there are many races mentioned but every Asian character is freaking Japanese. Not that I mind Japanese people but seriously?
Anywho... on with my review.
This story is about how Ginny's run-away-and-now-dead aunt has suddenly sent her a package with 13 little blue envelopes. Each envelope has a task, and if she chooses to, Ginny would be experiencing many things because of those letters.
I didn't really understand what was the point of this book, what the conflict was. It was just a bunch of little tasks and then a little story on what happened because of the task. The book was pretty good, I guess, but I didn't like the writing. It was too casual and too unprofessional. I didn't like the ending either. At one point, very close to the end, then something terrible happens. I skipped the rest of the chapter to get over the scene.
I don't highly reccomend but it's still a fun read when you're bored. Anyone could read this, really.
I rate this book 7/10

In my opinion, the book wasn't half that bad. But I didn't really like it as much as I thought I would. The title made me think it was going to be super duper good, but then it wasn't. There were some things I liked, like hearing about the pretty background(landscape) and reading about Herods but other than that I didn't really like the plot line, it felt dull to me.
I guess as I'm rating this, I would rate the book a 3/10 because it just wasn't all that great..
