Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Sarah D

Mary Jacky Faber is an orphaned street girl in London in the early 1800s. She wants more for her life and grabs an opportunity to become a ships boy on the HMS Dolphin. Here the adventure begins! Disguised as a boy Jacky has some roaring adventures aboard the ship, out at sea, and on land. This action-packed, non-stop book will leave a smile plastered on your face as you become Jacky and experience her in all her English-Cockney glory. I couldnt put the book down, but when I finally had too, I was all too happy to pick up the second in the series (it is almost better than the first!)
