We really liked this one where Jacky takes over a ship and becomes a pirate. It includes Irish history and the Battle of Trafalgar. Audiobook.

Excellent instalment in the adventures of Jacky Faber. This series just gets better and better! I'd give the first book to fans of historical novels, cross-dressing girls, pirates, or high seas adventure and get them hooked! (

Another awesome segment in the Bloody Jack series. Meyer's knack for storytelling is amazing, and Jacky just gets better and better with age. On the seas, in Ireland and England, Jacky manages to captain a ship, start her own company, open an orphanage, and have no less than 4 handsome men falling at her feet. What a girl! (

I absolutely have fallen in love with this series. The character has her faults (and does she know it), but you can see most of the great points about her. She's living an unfair life because no one will take her seriously as a 15 year old girl. I like how this one ended off and the relationships you see and the characters introduced. I can't wait to start the next book in the series! (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 015205345X, Hardcover)

A pirate at heart, unlikely heroine Jacky Faber returns to the sea in a truly swashbuckling tale filled with good humor, wit, and courage.

After leaving the Lawson Peabody School for Young Girls in Boston--under dire circumstances, of course--she boards a whaling ship bound for London, where she hopes to find her beloved Jaimy. But things don't go as planned, and soon Jacky is off on a wild misadventure at sea. She thwarts the lecherous advances of a crazy captain, rallies the sailors to her side, and ultimately gains command of a ship in His Majesty's Royal Navy. But Jacky's adventures don't end there. . . .
