Kidnapped. It's only by reading the book you find out why people have made films of it. I.e. the book is much better than the films.
I'd recommend the combined version in the mobileread library "David Balfour", which is both Kidnapped and Catriona. You could always stop after the first book :-)

(Umm.. yes, I did do the conversion for that version.)
