Summary:
"Jacky Faber--a Pirate? After leaving the Lawson Peabody School for Young Girls in Boston--under dire circumstances, of course--Jacky boards a whaling ship bound for London, hoping to reunite with her beloved Jaimy. But when she finds Jaimy, he's holding hands with a beautiful young woman--and Jacky's bent for jumping to conclusions sends her off on a wild misadventure at sea. Taken aboard a ship against her will, Jacky thwarts the advances of its 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 called a pirate--and there's even a price her head!"--Back cover
