OK so I've been so busy and my computers been crappy so i haven't posted any reviews even though i have been reading but good news! My school wants our laptops back and they are sending us new ones! :D So yay! My computer wont even connect to Word anymore so I'm really happy about getting a new one.
OK! So in preparation for the cruise i took a week ago I wanted to read some ocean related books and i picked up one of my favorites. Bloody Jack. I found this book while in Jamestown, Virginia (old Jamestown) on vacation and in the gift shop they have a bunch of books about pirates and this one stuck out to me. I didn't know what it was about but i bought it and loved it. It's now my favorite series.
The book is about this girl named Mary Faber who is an orphan living in England like 25 years after the Revolution. She does not know how old she is but she guesses she is at least 12. She runs with a gang and one day when the gang leader dies she is so upset and scared about dyeing herself, she steals his clothes and dresses in them. Suddenly people think she is a boy. She sees that people treat her differently then they would if they knew she was a girl so she decides to do something she has wanted to do for a long time, leave the smelly streets of London for adventure on the High Seas.
She gets on a ship called the Dolphin and says she's 10 years old and that her name is Jacky and they take her on as a ships boy. While she in on the ship she starts to fall for one of the other ships boys which is really bad for her because she is trying really hard to pretend to be a boy and that's not going to help. Lol
Jacky gets into a lot of trouble throughout the series. I really love the books but be warned. there are innuendos and she hang out around a bunch of sailors so expect crude humor and language. There are 6 books so far but there are two more on the way and probably more. I rate this all 7 cupcakes!!!!!! :D
p.s. Sorry the picture is so big! I'm on my moms Mac and I have no idea how to make the picture smaller!
