13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson
Review by Miss Tammy

Ginny's eccentric aunt has just passed away, but that doesn't mean that she's done teaching Ginny about life.  Upon her aunt's passing Ginny receives a package of letters and instructions to go to Europe.  The letters have Ginny traveling all over Europe, a place full of adventures, heartache, and, of course, boys.  This book is extremely well written and makes you long for a little jaunt across the pond for yourself.

Devilish by Maureen Johnson
Review by Miss Tammy

What would you do if your best friend sold her soul to the devil?  That's the problem facing Jane Jarvis, a senior at an all-girl Catholic school in Rhode Island.  When her best friend, Ally, suddenly goes from goof to glam Jane's world turns upside down.  Suddenly her dependable friend is never around, she keeps running into a motley assortment of random freaks, and odd things begin happening around her sleepy New England community.  It's a story that could get a little ridiculous, but ends up being as scrumptious as the cupcake on the book's cover.

The Key to the Golden Firebird by Maureen Johnson
Review by Miss Tammy

Mayzie's life, and family, is suddenly thrown off balance when her father passes suddenly.  A year after his passing it's time for May to learn how to drive, but no one is available to teach her save her neighbor and nemesis, Peter.  This book examines what it means to lose someone you love and how to keep on living.

Suite Scarlett by Maureen Johnson
Review by Miss Tammy

Scarlett lives in an old hotel in New York city.  When an eccentric old lady shows up in the suite to which she's been assigned for the summer her life takes an interesting turn.  I really enjoyed all the characters in this book (especially Charlie) and laughed out loud on more than one occasion.
