Sarah Meitzler (Kutztown University Book Review, Fall 2005)
This book is an abridged version done by Timothy Meis and is a Scribner Storybook Classic. David Balfour goes to Cramond, Scotland to find his uncle, Ebenezer. Ebenezer pays a ship captain to kidnap David so that he can be sold as a slave and can not claim his inheritance. David befriends Jacobite Alan Breck. They travel through the highlands escaping death on more than one occasion. Alan helps David claim his inheritance. The illustrations are done in oil paints by N.C. Wyeth. The book is divided into eleven chapters. I usually donít approve of abridged versions, but I would hope this version would intrigue younger readers to want to read the whole book when they get a little older. Category: . 2004, Atheneum Books for Young Readers, $18.95. Ages 8 to 13.
