Adventure

My Bonny Light Horseman
L.A. Meyer

The famous Jacky Faber has been captured yet again by the Royal Navy. Shortly after reuniting with her beloved James Emerson Fletcher on his way to Jamaica, she takes her newly acquired ship the Nancy B. Alsop and sets sail to start transporting cargo up and down the American coast. However her dream of being a simple merchant was soon crushed as the Royal Navy captures her boat. Despite her disguise she is soon recognized by a fiend from her past, the bully Bliffil. On the way back to Britain the ship is taken by the French and all of the crew is sent to a French prison. But right before Jacky is sent to the dreaded guillotine for her execution she is saved by a British spy, he takes her to Head Quarters were she finds out that in order to save her life she will have to become a spy. But Jacky is not so keen on this idea as her cover on this mission is a dancer that is giving out a little bit more than just dancing. Now Jacky has to find a way to preform her duty and escape which could get her into a lot more trouble than she realizes. 

This book was pretty good, not my favorite one of the series but still very good. My favorite part is when Jacky goes out to a cafe with her spy handler. I like this part because her handler and her end up getting pretty close and the things that he tells Jacky are very sweet. I would recommend this book to teens and adults who are reading this series and are interested in reading the rest of it. I would also recommend this book to anyone who likes war stories and even love stories, this book is set during Napoleon's take over and has a lot of good little facts about history thrown in a good prize for history lovers.
