description: This memorable favorite among students is the story of young David Balfour, an orphan, whose miserly old uncle cheats him out of his inheritance and schemes to have him kidnapped, shanghaied, and sold into slavery. But justice triumphs -- after a spirited odyssey which includes a shipwreck, a hazardous journey across Scotland, intrigue, and narrow escapes. Rich in action and characterization, this exhilarating novel is considered by the author himself to be his finest work.
