Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2009 | Series: Bloody Jack Adventures

The intrepid Jacky Faber, having once again eluded British authorities, heads west, hoping that no one will recognize her in the wilds of America. There she tricks the tall-tale hero Mike Fink out of his flatboat, equips it as a floating casino-showboat, and heads south to New Orleans, battling murderous bandits, British soldiers, and other scoundrels along the way. Will Jacky's carelessness and impulsive actions ultimately cause her beloved Jaimy to be left in her wake? Bold, daring, and downright fun, Jacky Faber proves once again that with resilience and can-do spirit, she can wiggle out of any scrape...well, almost.

From AudioFile

For rousing exploits and acts of derring-do, listen to this fifth Bloody Jack adventure. Once again faced with imprisonment and hanging, the unsinkable Jacky Faber escapes to the American wilderness, where she takes on legendary braggart Mike Fink, steals his flatboat, and turns it into a showboat offering revival meetings, a medicine show, and gambling. As Captain Jacky makes her way down the Mississippi to New Orleans, she fends off river pirates and "red Indians" and escapes hanging, tarring-and-feathering, and even a hurricane. Katherine Kellgren roars as Fink tries to capture and kill Jacky, purrs as Jacky attempts to sweet-talk her way out of a British brig, and sings period songs in a lovely crystal-pure voice. Kellgren's performance makes this must-listening. S.J.H. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

One of the best series I have read. It keeps you turning the page for more and keeps you laughing all the while. Jacky is one tough little girl. I can't wait for the next book to come out and hope he never stops writing about her.
