This is the first book of a large series. A young girl is orphaned and left to fend for herself on the streets of 1797 London. She dreams of getting away to anywhere but London, but joins a group of other orphans living on the streets. Soon she is alone again and signs up to serve as a ship's boy, and her adventures and "deception" begin as only boys can serve on ships. This is a great tale and very informative of the life of a sailor during that time.
