Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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?

Review:

"The fun rolls on like the mighty Mississippi . . . Jacky continues to amaze readers with her clever plots, narrow escapes, and the uncanny ability to outwit thieves and bureaucrats, make money, and have some fun. Fans will look forward to the next installment."--VOYA (4Q)

Mississippi Jack is by far the best Bloody Jack book yet written. Sure it is the longest one, but it is the best. Jacky is up to no good, but that is what she is good at! she travels down the Mississippi with her true love Jaimy Fletcher just days behind her. Jacky meets many interesting people along the way, like Sacagawea. she also runs into the British Navy, no shock there. This book is thrilling and fun loving, typical Jacky Faber. It is a must read!
