Kidnapped - Robert Louis Stevenson
Another great story by Stevenson. The plot is slower moving than Treasure Island, but there is a wonderful long section of wanderings around the Highlands as the two main characters hide from the police and army. The description of the settings is wonderful, and you meet a host of interesting characters. It gives you a glimpse of occupied Scotland in the 1700s and the political forces and conflicts of the time. There is also a section set in Edinburgh of the time, a swirl of crowds and narrow, twisting streets.
