Jacky’s adventures take her to the great Mississippi. For anyone who enjoys Mark Twain’s trip down the river, this book will bring back the flavor of those times. The book alternates between Jacky and Jaimy as narrators. Jaimy is in constant pursuit of Jacky through the entire novel and although tiring at times, gives a different perspective. Jacky through her wiling ways commandeers a river boat and turns it into a traveling show boat. Her adventures down river lead her to meet such characters from history as Sacajawea, Tecumseh, and pre-Civil War plantation/slave owners.
This book is an enjoyable read from start to finish!
