Mississippi Jack: Being an Account of the Further Waterborne Adventures of Jacky Faber, Midshipman, Fine Lady, and the Lily of the West (Bloody Jack Adventures)
The intrepid Jacky Faber, having once again eluded British authorities, heads west, hoping that no one will recognize her in the wilds of America. There she tricks the tall-tale hero Mike Fink out of his flatboat, equips it as a floating casino-showboat, and heads south to New Orleans, battling murderous bandits, British soldiers, and other scoundrels along the way. Will Jacky's carelessness and impulsive actions ultimately cause her beloved Jaimy to be left in her wake?
Bold, daring, and downright fun, Jacky Faber proves once again that with resilience and can-do spirit, she can wiggle out of any scrape . . . well, almost.
Synopsis:
Jacky's on the run ... and this time she's finding song and adventure on the mighty Mississippi.

This newest installment of the Jacky Faber nautical adventures pretty much proves beyond a doubt that you just can't keep the girl down. Meyer has a knack for keeping Jacky likable and real and the stories full of action and adventure. Which is good because the romance is starting to feel really, really, really drawn out. But these are all great books, and I would highly recommend them. Just a note: Even though they are marketed toward teen’s, adult readers would enjoy them. Plus they all make a perfect rainy weekend read.

I am so excited for this book to come out. The last one In the Belly of the Bloodhound left you wanting more. The ending was great, but it also annoyed me how we had to wait for the next book to come out to see if she will finally be captured by the Royal Navy. I am sure that this book will continue the series on a very very high note. The sixth one is coming out next year and I can not wait for that to happen. These books will always be amazing, and as long as they are I will keep reading them.
