Booklist *Starred Review*
Annotation: The heroine in this novel--the first of a series is Mary "Jacky" Faber, she's been a orphan for almost as long as she can remember in early 19th Century London. But her luck is about to change as she heads out on the start of a swashbuckling adventure disgused as "Jacky" the ship's boy.
Booktalk:
If you thought the adventures of Cap'n Jack Sparrow of the Black Pearl were wild and wonderful then you are in for a rollercoaster of a ride. Join the Jacky on the M/S Dolphin to escape life as an orphan in the streets of London. She may be hiding out as a boy but when she earns her her nickname "Bloody Jack" in a sea battle to rival any other, you'll be glad you followed along! Join, suit up and get ready for some blood!
