Bloody Jack is a coming of age story about a young girl who dresses up like a boy and signs up as a Ship Boy for the Royal Navy.

An interesting story about a girl, Mary 'Jacky' Faber who decides that in order to live an interesting life she has to become a boy. She ends up joining the Royal Navy as a Ship's boy and finds life at sea hard but rewarding. It's interesting, even if some cliches abound, Jacky is a strong-willed ...
Fantastically fun YA historical fiction on audio. Loved the performance by Katherine Kellgren who really threw herself into the role of Mary "Jacky" Faber the only girl Ship's boy in the British Navy.

After running with a ga...
