A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The infamous pirate, riverboat seductress, master of disguise, and street-urchin-turned-sailor Jacky Faber has been captured by the French and beheaded in full view of her friends and crew. Inconceivable? Yes! The truth is she’s secretly forced to pose as an American dancer behind enemy lines in Paris, where she entices a French general into revealing military secrets—all to save her dear friends. Then, in intrepid Jacky Faber style, she dons male clothing and worms her way into a post as galloper with the French army, ultimately leading a team of men to fight alongside the great Napoleon.

Revue de presse :

"Both the stirrings of love and the horrors of war are as vivid as the descriptions of victuals and raiment. Teens who have followed Jacky will be happy for another ride."--Kirkus Reviews "No other series for YAs is like this one!"--KLIATT "Engaging. . . . This novel can be handed to stronger readers who enjoy a multifaceted plot with adventure, humor, and romance."--VOYA
