Jacky has had many adventures so far in this historical fiction series. She has been in the Navy, a pirate, a school girl, a spy, and a convict. In the previous book she was sentenced to life in the penal colony of Australia. But it did not stick.
Now Jacky is on her way back to England. Most of her friends are on one of the three ships traveling back together. But when a typhoon hits them, she is swept overboard. Her friends think her dead.
But thanks to a lucky piece of the broken mast, Jacky is able to get to land. Sure, she has no idea where she is, but Jacky has more lives than a cat. Now her goal is to get back to England, let her friends know she is alive, and clear her name.
As Meyer continues the series, readers will be delighted to spend more time with Jacky - as great a character as was ever written. Start reading the series today! You will not regret it.
