Publisher's summary

In the fourth book of the Bloody Jack series, Jacky Faber, having been called a pirate and had a price put on her head by the King of England, has no choice but to stay out of sight.

Hoping for a safe hiding place, she returns to the Lawson Peabody School for Young Girls in Boston, but the calm doesn't last long.

On a class field trip to Boston Harbor, the girls are abducted and forced into the hold of the Bloodhound, a ship bound for the slave markets on the Barbary Coast where they will be put up on the auction block and sold into Arab harems.

Jacky wouldn't dream of going down without a fight, but the delicate Lawson peabody girls are in over their heads. Although Jacky will use anything in her arsenal to help her well-heeled classmates, she isn't so certain they will find the strength and courage needed to survive. But if she can convince them to trade petticoats and propriety for her daring escape plan, the girls just might become their own rescuers.

Adventure continues!

I've enjoyed thoroughly the presentation of Jackie's Adventures along with her vivid descriptions of the friends she meets along the way. This book played on some more serious things like slavery and there was more death and some unbelievable parts. guess that's all part of it.

Not the best but cute

A little slower than previous Bloody Jack books but overall a job well done. If you already love the series, it's worth it

Love Jackie

Really enjoying the series. I don't want it to come to an end. The audio voice is also very good.

This book has some of the best advice to live by

If you’re this far into the series by now you don’t need to be told how wonderful Jacky is or how masterful Meyer was, rest his lovely soul. What I will say is how this book gave me some of the best advice for dealing with a problem. Cry your very heart out and then make a plan.

I'm now a Jacky addict.

I love the stories, the swashbuckling and the fact that women can be strong and do whatever it takes to get where they want to go. Katherine Kellgren is one fantastic story teller and singer.
Thank you to both the author and the narrator for weeks of fun.

I'm getting this series as a present for my early teens granddaughter too.

So entertaining!

In the spirit of Sinbad the sailor and ever other brilliant adventure novel. The narrator is brilliant. There is no other that could do Jackie Faber justice.
