Judge Containing Books Bloody Jack (Bloody Jack #1)

Mary Faber, a young guttersnipe living in eighteenth-century London, cuts her hair, pulls on some pants, and signs up as a ship's boy on the HMS Dolphin. On board, "Jacky" Faber soon acquires a reputation as a brave and fearless pirate-fighter. It's a grand adventure for both Mary, and the reader. Though much of the book is taken up with Mary's efforts to camouflage her femininity, AND her struggle to hide her feelings for another ship's boy, there's plenty of action and treachery to keep things

Honestly didn't think I would like this one--you know, cause I get seasick, and this being a story about sailors and ships.Jacky Faber has wonderful characteristics: strong female, too much pride for her own good, and clever. Her voice stays with you long after you close the book.The only thing that bothered me (and this is going to sound really stupid) are the run-on sentences. I hope I'll get used to it with the next installment.My favorite line: "The Captain is so happy, he's forgivin' you

I'll admit it! One of my guilty pleasure reads is era-pieces in which women disguise themselves as men. Also, most all piratey situations. Enter a novel about a girl dressing as a boy...not a pirate. But close. Give me that old time religion!This was a fun little book!The progression of Mary "Jacky" Faber from a ten year old to a fifteen year old was well played out. It was interesting to see how the author shifted Jacky's mindset from child to young woman. In fact, her depiction of Jacky as a

Fun book about a girl from the London slums who boards a British Navy boat as a boy. In my library it's a Young Adult book, but it's a good quick read, plenty of happenings and adventure. It's told first person, so it takes a little bit to get used to the grammar. A kid from the gutter's not going to speak the Queen's English, after all.After surviving on the streets of London, Mary's friend and protector is killed. She takes his clothes and his shiv and heads off to find something more for

An extraordinary tale about a young girl who has everything and everyone taken from her and still unbelievably rises out of the ashes like a Phoenix to survive in a time of death and hopelessness. A great, captivating story with a completely original cast of characters that show great bravery and wildly cunning wit throughout. Mary/Jack/Jackie is a wonderfully imaginative and resourceful individual who I found to be extremely entertaining and couldn't wait to see what crazy thing she would do

Excellent story! I tend to like those gender-bending characters in general, but Jacky was especially well done. So many female action heroes tend to be modeled as boys in skirts - ass-kicking, bloodthirsty heroines out to prove they're not just some weakling girl. Jacky is a girl. She proves herself worthy in combat, but doesn't relish it. She plays a boy because it will secure her food and freedom. She challenges gender assumptions when her boyfriend wants to mold her into something she isn't.

3.5 stars It's easier bein' a boy, 'cause when someone needs somethin' done like holdin' a horse, they'll always pick a boy 'cause they think the dumbest boy will be better at it than the brightest girl, which is stupid, but there you are. I liked this book a fair bit, but there were a couple of ways in which it disappointed me. As the quote above illustrates, there is a bit of commentary on the role of women during this time period. The basic plot is quite liberating for Jackyshe impersonates a
