| Summary: | This beautiful and exciting adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic book tells the tale of fifteen-year-old Davie Balfour, left orphaned and penniless when his father is killed during a storm. Before he dies, Davie's father gives him a dagger and, hinting at dark family secrets, tells him that the only way to survive is to claim his rightful inheritance from an unknown uncle. On his subsequent quest for justice, Davie learns that the world is complicated, heroes are not always what they seem and that the difference between right and wrong is far from black and white.Against extraordinary odds Davie and Alan fight their way out of their ship's cabin, and Davie finds himself alone on a Scottish beach in the Highlands. He travels through the moors and forests, encountering some of the strange, disturbed, refugee people that have wandered the Highlands since they were dispossessed by the land-grab that followed the Highland clearances. Davie finally meets up with Alan again, but his joy is quickly extinguished when they are both accused of the murder of a tax collector for King George and are forced on a wild flight through the Scottish Highlands. |
