Kinnapped

“I'm glad David got through his adventures safely. They were very scary.” A bright flash of lightning lit up the darkness and showed me the horrible truth – the stairs came to a sudden stop, and if I had taken one more step I would have plunged to my death upon the flagstones far below. When David Balfour visits his uncle Ebenezer, he hopes for some good news about his inheritance. Instead he finds himself at the centre of a deadly plot: he is kidnapped and put on board a ship bound for America. After David makes friends with a Highland soldier, Alan Breck Stewart, he discovers that Alan has rebelled against the King of England. David is a loyal subject of King George – so what should he do when he discovers that Alan's life is in deadly danger? David soon finds that he is a wanted man, hunted by English soldiers. Can he escape from the wild and hazardous Scottish Highlands – and who will help him?
