Moonfleet
When fifteen-year-old orphan John Trenchard is banished by his Aunt Jane, he goes to live at the local inn with the mysterious Elzevir Block, whose son has been killed by Customs Officers. Unofficially adopted by Block, John comes to learn the reasons for the noises in the graveyard at night, of "Blackbeard" Mohune's lost treasure and Elzevir Block's secret.
This is a children's book written in 1898 and set a hundred years or more previously, so there's one stereotype that's no longer acceptable and the language is probably not the easiest for modern kids. Having said that, it's a great ripping yarn that's a cross between Kidnapped and Treasure Island. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
