![]() ![]() Highly enjoyable, I would definitely recommend it to readers who enjoy tales of adventure. Being disguised as a boy does not mean that Jacky also gets involved in a bit of romance as well, along with adventures that involve hunting down pirates, avoiding shipwreck, getting tattooed, learning to play the pennywhistle. The Mary becomes Jacky and eventually Bloody Jack as he/she is inventive enough to do well on the ship, avoid detection, and avoid the bullies that prey on the younger boys. That choice is to don boys clothes and to volunteer to become a ship's boy aboard the H.M.S. Then her gang leader is killed and she must make a choice to find her own way out. She lives on the streets with a gang of other children and avoids the body snatchers and other dangers until she is about 12. ![]() ![]() Loved it! A young girl living in the 1800's is forced into a life of survival on the streets when her family dies from an epidemic. ![]()
