Reach for this book when your child feels like a square peg in a round hole, especially if they are struggling with new social expectations or a restrictive environment. After years of living as a cabin boy on the high seas, Jacky Faber is thrust into a strict Boston finishing school where her scars and tattoos make her an immediate outcast. This historical adventure explores the friction between a girl's authentic, wild self and the rigid demands of 19th-century society. It is a story about finding your tribe in unexpected places and maintaining your integrity when authority figures try to break your spirit. While the book is full of humor and sass, it also touches on themes of classism, religious hypocrisy, and the struggle for justice. It is best suited for mature middle grade readers who enjoy high-stakes historical fiction and a protagonist who is unapologetically herself.
