Fun Fact #2: There is a second book! The Last Blue Envelope is the sequel to this book. I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I can't wait!!! The premise is something that I was so curious about when I finished the first one.
Summary: Ginny's Aunt Peg has always been flighty and irresponsible, but there is something so wonderful about people like that, isn't there? After a terrible tragedy, Aunt Peg has set out one last adventure for Ginny. The adventure is set out in 13 letters and will send her all over Europe, from London to Italy to Denmark to Greece (and many more!). Allowed nothing but a backpack, Ginny sets off for Europe blindly hoping that somehow she can trust her flaky artist aunt, the people she is supposed to track down, and the lessons that Peg wants her to figure out. Finding adventure, friends, and romance along the way, Ginny is forced to become someone different than she always has been. Maybe she is more like Peg than she ever thought...
