Gr 7 Up—Jacky Faber is now 19, and life doesn't seem to be slowing down or lacking adventure. The teen finds herself on the run and having to take on undercover personas, such as a respectable governess and a Russian tightrope walker. A familiar cast comes to her aid and her relationship with long-time flame, Jaimy Fletcher, is finally resolved. Fans of the series, longing to know of Jacky's fate, will be satisfied, but should not expect many surprises from the story arc. Katherine Kellgren's energetic narration is superb.
VERDICT Purchase this where the "Bloody Jack" books are in demand or where younger listeners are looking for historical fiction with humor and a strong female protagonist.
