Bloody Jack


Bloody Jack, by L.A. Meyer, is a book about a girl named Jackie Faber. She dresses up as a boy and gets chosen to work on a boat called H.M.S. Dolphin. Nobody knows that she is a girl. She thinks it is easier being a boy. They got in a war with pirates and she gets stranded on an island because their ship was damaged in the war and they see the island and sail there. She makes a signal fire and the people on the H.M.S. Dolphin come for her. They soon find out that she is a girl and put her in the brig. (Brig - A jail on a boat.) When they sail to Boston they put her in a school to teach her how to be a lady. She does not like the school at all because she misses the boat and the people on it. It is a really great book and I highly recommend it!

The End!
