Editorial Reviews

Fans will have high expectations for this ninth Jacky Faber adventure—and the Meyer/Kellgren team delivers. The story remains fresh, and Katherine Kellgren plays every part with gusto as the sailor/pirate Jacky escapes death yet again when she’s thrown from her ship during a storm in the South China Sea. Kellgren’s voice is integral to the part of Jacky, with her exasperating antics and lovable personality. Kellgren’s passionate narration will have listeners on the edge of their seats as Jacky’s true love, Jaimy Fletcher, falls into madness, thinking that Jacky has perished in the storm. This installment will please fans of the series as many characters from previous books are revisited—and the story promises to continue. M.M.G.
