Curse of the Blue Tattoo: Being an Account of the Misadventures of Jacky Faber, Midshipman and Fine Lady by L.A. Meyer

4.0

I loved it. This is a fantastic series for the young historical fiction lover. One caveat though - it may not be appropriate for children of middle school age. I would rate it 14 and up. There are some hairy situations that poor Jacky finds herself enduring, both of a mild sexual nature (don't worry, she's a good girl) as well as dealings with alcohol. I find the author's writing well done and engaging and I'll probably read at least one or two more books in the series just because I'm enjoying them.
