Product Details


Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 8 Up—In this installment in the series, the teen is back in Boston as a student at the Lawson Peabody School for Young Girls. While there, she tries to comport herself as a proper young lady in polite society. When the girls go on a field trip to a nearby island, they are kidnapped and put on a slave ship called the Bloodhound, which is bound for Africa. Jacky quickly falls back on her seagoing experience to organize the captives into divisions and devise a daring escape plan, which could mean the difference between life and death. Readers unfamiliar with the previous books will have a difficult time following the action. It is not made clear what Jacky's previous adventures were and how she came to be in Boston and at the school. The narrative is somewhat slow and does not pick up speed until far into the journey on the slave ship. Jacky is a strong protagonist whose exploits are astounding and hair-raising, but the secondary characters are not as well developed.—Kristen Oravec, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Strongsville, OH

From Booklist

With a price on her head for piracy, 16-year-old Jacky Faber takes shelter in an unexpected haven, her former boarding school in Boston. A boating excursion ends disastrously when Jacky and her fellow students are kidnapped and stowed in the hold of a ship that sails for the slave markets of North Africa. Is it possible that, against all odds, the wicked ruffians will be outwitted and overpowered by daring Jacky and the resourceful young ladies of the Lawson Peabody School? Readers of the three previous novels know that the real pleasure comes from watching this cunning, unconventional, warmhearted heroine in action. Carolyn Phelan
