What this book is about
When seventeen-year-old Ginny receives a package from her recently deceased Aunt Peg — a vibrant, eccentric artist — she finds thirteen sealed envelopes with rules: no phone, limited money, and she must open each one only after completing the previous task. What follows is a solo adventure across Europe driven entirely by her aunt's instructions. Maureen Johnson's warm YA novel is about grief, growing up, and the strange gift of being pushed into the unknown by someone who loved you.
