Book Description
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.

Book Description
Jacky Faber is framed as passing confidential U.S. information to the British. Forced to flee Boston, she goes undercover as a governess for a prominent Puritan family. When outed by a nosy postmaster, she deserts the respectability of her position, dons a leotard and slippers, and poses as a Russian tightrope walker in a traveling circus. But the law soon catches up with her, and prospects do not look good. Through her many adventures, Jacky has always found the ingenuity to escape dire situations, but this time it looks like Puss in Boots has run out of lives . . . and her happily-ever-after will be cut short at the foot of the gallows.

Book Description
Orphan gangs in London’s Cheapside? Check. British warships? Check. Pirates? Check. Disguises? Check. Nautical adventures with a saucy heroine? Check. Embark on a swashbuckling adventure with the highly entertaining and endlessly cunning Jacky Faber, aka Bloody Jack. Once a dastardly London street urchin, Jacky alters her fate forever by sneaking on board a British warship and disguising herself as a ship’s boy. Jacky climbs ships’ rigging better than the rough-and-tumble boys of the navy, flirts her way out of the trouble she inevitably finds herself in, and ultimately lands herself at an elite school for girls in Boston. Jacky flits in and out of adventure and danger with pirates, real-life historical figures, and riotously funny fictitious friends. L. A. Meyer takes you on adrenaline-filled historical adventures through the eyes of a witty, brave, and lovable young woman determined to change her fate. Begin this adventurous and suspenseful series with the inaugural Bloody Jack novels. This starter pack contains three books: Bloody Jack, The Curse of the Blue Tattoo, and Under the Jolly Roger.
