It's 1751, 5 years after the disastrous Battle of Culloden ended Bonnie Prince Charlie's desperate attempt to gain the throne of England. Young David Balfour's wicked uncle Ebenezer has arranged to have the boy kidnapped to prevent him from discovering that Ebenezer's family estate, Shaws, really belongs to David. Shipped out aboard the brig Covenant, bound for the Carolinas, David meets up with the dashing Alan Breck Stewart, one of Bonnie Prince Charlie's supporters and a survivor of Culloden. When the Covenant is wrecked on the coast of Mull, David and Alan travel together through the Wild Highlands in search of justice. This exciting first-person account is read with a hint of a Scottish brogue by Carlos Cardona.
