==Plot introduction==
After describing the death of the protagonist's family and her entrance into a gang, the action begins with the main character, Mary Faber, struggling to survive on the streets of London with the other orphaned children. Their leader is a clever adolescent named Rooster Charlie whom Mary learns to love as a brother, and as a leader. The gang's life is rough as they try to survive each day on the streets of 18th-century London. When Charlie is murdered, Mary takes Charlie's clothes and changes her name to "Jack" to hide her identity as a girl. She quickly finds a position as a ship's boy on the HMS ''Dolphin''.
She is renamed 'Bloody Jack' after the crew of HMS ''Dolphin'' board a ship and she, still only about thirteen years old, uses a plundered pistol to kill a pirate who is about to stab one of her fellow shipmates, Jaimy, who is paralyzed with fright. She comes back to the ''Dolphin'' covered in blood, and her proud shipmates nickname the little "boy", Bloody Jack.
