Jenny Nettles (Debra Doyle Memorial Edition)

In 1773 the ship Jenny Nettles, a sweet-sailing brigantine with the figurehead of a beautiful Highland woman attached to her bow, leaves Liverpool with a hold full of fine goods and a new captain at her helm. But there are secrets on board this ship now, and soon the crew will discover the truth of a ghostly vengeance that only death can make right.

Told in the spirit of an old sailor’s fireside tale, “Jenny Nettles” is a middle-grade supernatural story set on the high seas, featuring true-to-life historical detail, real seafaring superstitions, and a delicate introduction to the atrocities suffered by the Scottish Highlanders after the Battle of Culloden and the Jacobite Rebellion. First published in “Jenny Nettles” provides a spooky scare and an engaging gateway to learning more.

A special Debra Doyle Memorial Edition, this ebook contains updated formatting, a memorial page for the late Dr. Doyle, and an all-new "Making of" essay written by James D. Macdonald specifically for this edition.
