A pirate at heart, unlikely heroine Jacky Faber returns to
the sea in a truly swashbuckling tale filled with good
humor, wit, and courage.
After leaving the Lawson Peabody School for Young Girls in
Boston--under dire circumstances, of course--she boards a
whaling ship bound for London, where she hopes to find her
beloved Jaimy. But things don't go as planned, and soon
Jacky is off on a wild misadventure at sea. She thwarts
the lecherous advances of a crazy captain, rallies the
sailors to her side, and ultimately gains command of a
ship in His Majesty's Royal Navy. But Jacky's adventures
don't end there. . . .
