Wild Rover No More

Being the Last Recorded Account of the Life & Times of Jacky Faber

By: L. A. Meyer

Narrated by: Katherine Kellgren

Audie Award, Best Female Narrator, 2016

Jacky Faber is framed as passing confidential U.S. information to the British. Forced to flee Boston, she goes undercover as a governess for a prominent Puritan family. When outed by a nosy postmaster, she deserts the respectability of her position, dons a leotard and slippers, and poses as a Russian tightrope walker in a traveling circus. But the law soon catches up with her, and prospects do not look good. Through her many adventures, Jacky has always found the ingenuity to escape dire situations, but this time it looks like Puss in Boots has run out of lives... and her happily-ever-after will be cut short at the foot of the gallows.

outstanding

What made the experience of listening to Wild Rover No More the most enjoyable?

I have loved all of these books so very much. young adult fiction? bah... these books are for everyone! Or.. I am just a kid at heart. I stayed up all night listening to this book and laughed and cried. I rarely do that.

What did you like best about this story?

Well, not to give any of the story away, but the final reckoning was wonderfully done.

What about Katherine Kellgren’s performance did you like?

She is among the best of the audible performers. I will listen to anything she does. She IS Jacky Faber.

Any additional comments?

I hope generations of readers, both young adult and adult, read these books, listen to these books, cherish LA Meyer's wonderful work and Katherine Kellgren's masterful performance. I know I will listen to them again and again.

Highly recommended series for any age

This review is of the whole series which has sadly come to an end with the death of the author and performer both. I’m well past the recommended age for readership of this series but thoroughly enjoyed it for years and feel it’s suitable for nearly any age. I am truly mourning the loss of the high spirited heroin, Jackie. I laughed aloud at some of her sayings and antics, cried with her tragedies, and cheered her upbeat, unflappable spirit and wit. I feel I’ve lost good friends in Jackie, L.A. Meyer, and the talented Katherine Kellgren. God speed one and all.

Such a good series

I can't believe it's over! but couldn't imagine a better way to end it. The narrator is hands down the best I have listened to on Audible.

Great book

Loved all the books in this series! Wish there were more. I really enjoyed the Wild and crazy ways of Jackie.

perfect as always

Would you consider the audio edition of Wild Rover No More to be better than the print version?

The entire series is amazing. So sad this is the end.

What does Katherine Kellgren bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Jackies character really comes to life because of the narrator. All the characters are very distinguished because of the superior job.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes. i also wanted to go back and start all over with the series
