The Bloody Jack Adventures - Book 1
Bloody Jack
"If you’ve never listened to a book performed by Katherine Kellgren, get ready for a tour de force. Not only does she capture the spirit of our orphan-girl-turned-ship’s-boy protagonist, Jackie Faber, but she fully embodies every wildly outrageous character that appears in this eighteenth-century high seas adventure. Remember, we’re dealing with some unsavory individuals here: it gets pretty sketchy. But the kids will love the bedlam and the adults will be equally entertained.”

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 will have to use every bit of her spirit, wit, and courage to keep the crew from discovering her secret. This could be the adventure of her life—if only she doesn’t get caught. .
