(YA F Meye)
554 pages 2010 Historical Fiction
In this 8th installment Jackie, now rich from the treasure of a sunken Spanish galleon, buys a ship with the intention of ferrying passengers back and forth between England and America. However, when she returns to England her old enemies conspire to have her arrested for crimes against the crown and sentenced to life in a penal colony in Australia. But hey, this is Jackie, so you know she will turn trouble to her advantage. Suffice it to say prison, mutiny, elephants, tattoos, and Chinese pirates are all part of the rollicking adventures that make this such an entertaining read. (Grades 7 & up)
