Loading... Under the Jolly Roger: Being an Account of the Further Nautical Adventures…by Louis A. Meyer (otherwise under L. A. Meyer)Series: Bloody Jack Adventures (book 3)
Another fun adventure in the life of Jacky Faber. When Jacky sees Jaimy holding hands with another girl, she takes off, and it's not long before she is press-ganged into work on another ship, only this time under a dangerous and cruel captain. But, before long, she finds herself in control of the ship, and then working as a privateer, before finding out she's got a price on her head for piracy. This book really felt like two pressed into one... what's labeled as "Part 1" takes up full half the pages, and could have stood alone as a thinner book. The rest of it's good as well, though, and doesn't feel particularly cobbled-together, especially when it's tied together in the end. Fun and exciting read, in any case, and it kept me interested enough to keep me away from a nap and to read it straight through in a single day.  fyrefly98 | Mar 10, 2007 | 
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. Saladbits | Nov 10, 2009 | 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! (  ) francescadefreitas | Sep 19, 2009 | 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! (  ) renee_desroberts | May 28, 2009 | 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! ( ) knielsen83 | Mar 5, 2009 | Amazing i love this series!!!! More people should read it!! as we continue to see how the adventures of Jacky Faber unfols we see more about her past and her future. ( ) snapplechick | Oct 27, 2007 | After this one (#3 in the series), I couldn't keep reading. (  ) lysimache | Jul 6, 2007 | A really good book, impossible to put down...
