Description

New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson’s fun, romantic, and hilarious sequel to her breakout hit 13 Little Blue Envelopes gets a brand-new cover!

Ginny Blackstone spent last summer traveling around Europe, following the tasks her aunt laid out in a series of letters before she died. When someone stole Ginny’s backpack—and the last little blue envelope inside—she resigned herself to never knowing how the adventure was supposed to end.

Now a mysterious boy has contacted Ginny from London, saying he’s found her bag. Finally Ginny can finish what she started. But instead of ending her journey, the last letter starts a new adventure, and Ginny finds she must hold on to her wits . . . and her heart. This time there are no instructions.


  • Teen Travel Fiction: A whirlwind trip across Europe in winter, from the festive streets of London and Paris to the historic alleys of Dublin, with no map and no rules.
  • Love Triangle: Ginny’s heart is already tangled with a playwright from her past, but the mysterious boy holding her final letter might just rewrite the script.
  • Forced Proximity: To get her letter back, Ginny has to team up with the clever and infuriating stranger who found it—and he has plans of his own.
  • Art Heist: The final letter reveals a secret multi-part work of art scattered across Europe, turning a personal quest into a race against time.
