📖 Kidnapped

Orphaned as a young teenager, Lowlander David Balfour's only relative is his guardian and uncle, Ebenezer. Ill-thought of and disliked by many, it's not long before Ebenezer betrays his nephew and David finds himself trapped aboard a ship. He soon strikes up a friendship with fugitive stranger and Scottish Highlander Alan Breck, and becomes embroiled in the fierce Jacobite struggle against English rule. A tale of high-seas adventure, loyalty and intrigue, Kidnapped is considered the quintessential classic boys' adventure novel.
