If you're a fan of good books, maybe you've read a few by Maureen Johnson.  Not only is she an author of great books, but she's awesome herself - we learned that when she Skyped with us back in May 2010!  Later this month Maureen Johnson has a new book coming out - The Last Little Blue Envelope. 

It's the sequel to 13 Little Blue Envelopes, the book where Ginny goes on a whirlwind adventure in Europe after receiving a package of 13 letters in the mail from her Aunt Peg who recently died of cancer.

In the new book, The Last Little Blue Envelope, Ginny is a little older, a little wiser, and has a sort-of boyfriend from her previous adventures.  But then she receives a message that will again send her on an adventure across Europe and change her life.  You will NOT want to miss this book.  I've been lucky enough to read it early, and trust me, it's fantastic!

But wait!  You haven't read the first book 13 Little Blue Envelopes yet??  Don't worry - it's not too late to read it before the sequel comes out...

For TWO WEEKS, Maureen Johnson is offering the FREE EBOOK for 13 Little Blue Envelopes!  Just follow this link to her blog post to get the link for your device to download the book.  And if you don't have an eReader, we have a copy of the book in the Teen Zone!  Hurry and check it out!
