In the Belly of the Bloodhound: Being an Accountant of a Particularly Peculiar Adventure in the Life of Jacky Faber is a historical novel written by L.A. Meyer.

The next day, Ezra, Jim, and Jacky take the Morning Star to Dovecote to see Amy, who is in a deep depression.

When they are taken to the docks, Jacky refuses to get in the lifeboat to take them to their picnic spot without Mistress Pimm or Higgins.

They find a rat hole into a storage room, and make plans to widen it with Jacky's shiv to escape through.

Jacky soon finds out that he is actually Hugh the Grand, or Hughie, from the Rooster Charlie Gang on the streets of London.

As the girls work on widening the rat hole and sneaking supplies through, Jacky bargains with two of the less aggressive sailors, Mick and Keefe.

She has the youngest girl, Rebecca, wake up screaming about seeing a ghost, to scare the extremely superstitious crew.

When the sailors become terrified and create pandemonium, Jacky sneaks back in and covers for herself by kissing Clarissa in the hold, claiming that the two of them are "particular friends."

Jacky wakes up on a Royal Navy Ship, HMS Juno, which is taking the girls back to Boston.

Before they get to Boston, the Juno has to make a quick stop in New York, where they meet up with Henry Hoffman, the school's stable boy and fiancé of one of the girls.

While highlighting the merits of the adventure described in the novel, Booklist's Carolyn Phelan wrote, "The real pleasure comes from watching this cunning, unconventional, warmhearted heroine in action".

[1] On behalf of School Library Journal, Tricia Melgaard wrote, "It's wonderful to see the girls rise to the challenge and use their brains to outwit their male captors.

Discussing the audiobook, Melgaard praised Kellgren's ability to "juggl[e] American, French, and British accents with ease", noting that "her vivid delivery of Meyer's top-notch dialogue brings the tale to life".
