The British crown has placed a price on Jacky's head, and so she returns to the Lawson Peabody School for Young Girls in Boston to lay low. But laying low isn't in the cards for a spunky lass who finds trouble even when she's not looking for it.

A school outing goes awry as Jacky and her classmates are abducted and forced into the hold of the Bloodhound, a ship bound for the slave markets on the Barbary Coast. All of Jacky's ingenuity, determination, and plain old good luck will be put to the test as she rallies her classmates to fight together to avoid being sold on the auction block in this new installment of the Bloody Jack Adventures.

Evaluate Containing Books In the Belly of the Bloodhound: Being an Account of a Particularly Peculiar Adventure in the Life of Jacky Faber (Bloody Jack #4)

All I can say for this book is that this is the most awesome book I've ever read, and that I would give it a 7 star had it been possible, but alas it's not, so I'll have to be content with the 5-star which seems pitifully little now. The book start of real fine, with Jacky going back to Boston, to all her dear friends, Amy, Annie, Slyvie, Rebecca, Peg, etc, etc, and they have a very happy and cheerful reunion. Here's a quote. "Jesus, Mary and Joseph! It's Jacky!"But of course, we mustn't forget

Can I give this book 10 stars, pretty please? This is now one of my favorite books of all time. How do they keep getting better and better?!?! I am going to own all these books by the time I finish them.

More adventure and dangerous situations for Jacky Faber! Meyer continues to put his heroine in seemingly impossible situations to see her wriggle and plot her way back out. I also enjoyed the twists this story takes that relate back to Jackys days as Mary (an orphan living in Cheapside). This story also ends on a heartbreaking cliffhanger that had me running for the next installment!

This was definitely the darkest of the four books I have read so far, but still well written. I once again read it in a day. I thought the author did an excellent job of bring out multiple female personalities, in diverse ways. I thought the relationship between Jacky and Clarissa played out very interestingly, it makes me wonder how it will be in a subsequent one. I loved the part when Jacky explained the goddess Diana to Katy (391). Elspeth Goodwin's character also played out very interesting

The famous sailor/pirate/school girl Jacky Faber has found her way back to Boston after narrowly escaping during a great battle between the British and the French. She knows there is a price on her head for being a pirate, although quite frankly she doesn't feel she is a pirate at all. She must find a way to hide out for awhile, and what better place than back at the Lawson Peabody School for Girls. Some are thrilled to have her back, others would prefer her to have stayed away, but Jacky is

Another stellar contribution to the "Bloody Jack" series--and a fabulous audiobook performance by Katherine Kellgren. This is just pure entertainment! Not that there isn't a good deal of history and thoughtfulness involved, but it's just one of the most compelling stories, with vivid characters brought to life not only through Meyer's deft storytelling but through Kellgren's fine acting. If you want a synopsis of the story, you can read the publisher's blurb. Personally, I loved diving right in

12/13/08--Having just barely escaped the clutches of the British Navy, Jacky is headed back for Boston and the safety of America. Much to her surprise she is welcomed back into the arms of Mistress Pimm and the Lawson Peabody School of Young Girls. Under the guise of a scientific exploration, Jacky and the girls are abducted and forced into the hold of a slaving ship, there to travel to Africa to be sold as white slaves into harems. The majority of this adventure is told while in the hold of the
