this quick moving book is an adventure on the high seas. Young Jack looks after herself by getting work on a ship and then earning herself the reputation of Bloody Jack during a battle with pirates. There is a bit of a romantic undertone as Jack hits puberty and her feelings for her fellow cabin boys come to the surface. While maintaining her disguise as a boy, she has to deal with her feelings as a girl. The book is high interest and a good quick read.

A really fun and interesting book really good read good for anyone who are into pirates and sailors type of books. It was a great feat, the fact that she managed to survive on the street and also the many things she did after that.

A Fantastic series! Could not put it down and although I don't usually like to re-read books, I'm now re-reading this series for the third time! Jacky is a great character, full of life and mischief. You can't help but cheer her on. Only thing that due to some of the subjects touched upon, i would only recommend it for older teen+ readers. Remember this is 18th century London where an orphaned girl had very little choice if she wants to survive and even more so the life of a sailor was a rough one let alone for a young female. Overall though, a definite must read!
