The orphaned lowlander David Balfour seeks out his sole living relative, estranged uncle Ebeneezer of the House of Shaws. Ebeneezer strips him of his inheritance and David soon finds himself kidnapped!
Everything changes when Alan Breck Stewart, Jacobite fugitive and scoundrel, boards the ship carrying David to his grim fate. Together, David and Alan overthrow the crew and begin an uneasy friendship. Their ensuing quest will test their strength as much as their faith in one another.
Kidnapped takes readers on a swashbuckling adventure to vivid and unexpected places. More than a thrill ride, the story is an investigation into the joys and perils of finding one's place in the world. Stevenson is at his most daring in this tale of treachery and boundary-defying friendship.
