Yay for September's book, Bloody Jack! I couldn't decide which cover to post, so I used both the old one where Jacky appears to be a 5 year old boy AND the new one where she looks like a 15 year old waiting for her ride home from the mall/ship. (Did they have blow dryers back then?)
Enjoy!
I listened to this as an audio book, read by Katherine Kellgren and it is fantastic! I really can't imagine reading it in print, it is sooo entertaining. This book is great for the humor, the history, and the adventure but mostly I just love Jacky and I feel like she's part of my family. I've listened to 3 of these books and while each has a pretty satisfying ending, I can't wait to get my hands on all of them to see what Jacky can get herself into next.
"Life as a ship's boy aboard HMS Dolphin is a dream come true for Jacky Faber. Gone are the days of scavenging for food and fighting for survival on the streets of eighteenth-century London. Instead, Jacky is becoming a skilled and respected sailor as the crew pursues pirates on the high seas. There's only one problem: Jacky is a girl. And she must use every bit of her spirit, wit, and courage to keep the crew from discovering her secret."
