After Leaving the Lawson Peabody School for Young Girls in Boston--under dire circumstances, of course--Jacky boards a whaling ship bound for London, where she hopes to find her beloved Jaimy. But things don't go as planned and soon she is off on a wild misadventure at sea. She thwarts the lecherous advances of a crazy captain, rallies the sailors to her side, and ultimately gains command of a ship in His Majesty's Royal Navy. But Jacky's adventures don't end there...eventually she is being called a pirate, and there's s price on her head!

I leave a 5 star review for anyone who stumbles across these series of books. As a child around 7th to 8th grade I started the wrong book and was still pulled into the story and then I read some prior books however, used to fall asleep reading these. They are so good it's unbelievable
