Life changes when Mary is thrown onto tthe street when all three members of her family die of pestilence. She finds herself been taken in by a street gang but when they all start to die, she decides it's time for a change.

Life is too dangerous for a girl so she becomes Jack Faber and recruits herself onto a ship along with five other boys.

This is an amusing book that includes romance, adventure and tension. Meyer never lets glamour get in the way of the harsh life at sea in the 18th centuary. You'll find it intriguing and hard to put down. So, entertain yourself and settle down with Bloody Jack.
