May 22, 2012
Jacky Faber is used to fighting for survival as an orphan on the streets of London. When the HMS Dolphin is hiring ship boys for an exciting new voyage, Jack finally has a chance to escape life on the streets, to fight pirates, and pursue riches and glory on a real English warship. There’s only one problem… Jacky is a girl! The first in the popular series by L.A. Meyer, comes Bloody Jack, a fast-paced story of swash-buckling adventure and deception on the high seas. Although sometimes slipping into stereotypes of the minor characters, Jacky is a strong clever protagonist - she will not disappoint. At times funny, dangerous, and romantic, this book will engage readers until the very end.
