Bloody Jack: Being an Account of the Curious Adventures of Mary "Jacky" Faber, Ship's Boy by L.A. Meyer

4.0

As the intrepid reader could probably figure out from the cover of this YA novel and its title, Bloody Jack has something to do with pirates. Therefore, one can only deduce that this review is by Morgan (and it is!). However, Bloody Jack by L.A. Mayer does not follow the roving adventures of a pirate crew. The main protagonists are, in fact, pirate-hunting members of the English Navy in the end of the 18th century. More specifically, the main character and her comrades are lowly ships boys on the HMS Dolphin, and although I traditionally spurn the actions of pirate-hunters I do make an exception for this book because it is bloody amazing.
