Title: Curse of the Blue Tattoo: Being an Account of the Misadventures of Jacky Faber, Midshipman and Fine Lady (Bloody Jack Adventures Book Two)
Author: L.A. Meyer
Pages: 488
Genre: YA, fiction
I'm still loving this series and went right back out & picked up book 3. This one differed in setting as it was about Jacky's attempt at an education and learning to be a lady...which is definitely a comedy of errors. There's a ton of action stuffed into this volume. The end seemed a little too rushed but it did set up nicely for the next book. Great book, fun characters, and you gotta love little Jacky! I was reminded a lot of Sara Crew ("A Little Princess") in this story. This series may be classified "young adult" but it's definitely PG-13 with a lot of adult subject matter and language.
BLURB: After her perilous encounter with the dread pirate Le Fievre and her discovery as a girl, Jacky is put off The Dolphin and sent to an elite finishing school funded by her shares from the spoils of capturing the pirates loot. Under the stern thumb of the infamous Mistress Pimm, Jacky discovers just how far she is from becoming a fine lady. It turns out that bloodthirsty buccaneers have nothing on the young ladies at the Lawson Peabody School! It isn't long before Jacky shows her true colors, getting herself into scrapes that her darling beau, midshipman Jaimy Fletcher, couldn't even begin to imagine.
