In the Belly of the Bloodhound

Being an Account of a Particularly Peculiar Adventure in the Life of Jacky Faber, A Bloody Jack Adventure

L. A. Meyer

The British crown has placed a price on Jacky’s head, and so she returns to the Lawson Peabody School for Young Girls in Boston to lay low. But laying low isn’t in the cards for a spunky lass who finds trouble even when she’s not looking for it. On a field trip, Jacky and her classmates are abducted and forced into the hold of the Bloodhound, a ship bound for the slave markets on the Barbary Coast. All of Jacky’s ingenuity, determination and plain old good luck will be put to the test.

L. A. Meyer (Corea, Maine) is the author of the Bloody Jack Adventure series, which has been praised for its spirited heroine and rousing sense of adventure.
