Jacky Faber returns to the sea in a truly swashbuckling tale filled with good humor, wit, and courage. After leaving the Lawson Peabody School for Young Girls in Boston--under dire circumstances, of course--she boards a whaling ship bound for London, where she hopes to find her beloved Jaimy. But things don´t go as planned, and soon Jacky 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.... Before she knows it, she´s being a called a pirate and there´s a price on her head!
