"After starting a new life as a ships boy aboard the HMS Dolphin, Mary “Jacky” Faber must grapple with her crush on a new boy, getting her first period, living a life of deceit and trickery, taking life in order to survive, and pirates.
While it is the first in a series this book is great on its own. No idea how many times I have listened to the audiobook read by Katherine Kellgren"

"Such a great series. The narrator was fantastic on Audible.com. I listened to all 12 books and wished there were more. 5 stars all the way. "
