Gr 5 Up—Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 classic, a timeless tale of betrayal and friendship, comes to life through the brilliant narration of Steven Crossley. His Scottish accent draws listeners in as he weaves the story of David Balfour's kidnapping, escape, and battle for his inheritance. Teens may be confused by the Scottish historic references, particularly those relating to the Jacobite rebellions. Scottish words like "ken" are used frequently, but are usually understandable in context. A searchable PDF ebook of the novel is included on the first CD. A swashbuckling adventure story.—Samantha Larsen Hasting, Riverton Library, South Riverton, UT
