Green Mansions by William Henry Hudson audiobook.
Genre: romance
'Green Mansions: A Romance of the Tropical Forest' is a narration of his life story by Abel, a Venezuelan, to a comrade. Once a wealthy young man, he meddled in politics to the extent of provoking a revolution... which failed.
Escaping into the tropical forests of Guyana Abel takes up gold hunting, then journal-writing, and fails at both. Now with no aim for his life, he drifts until he takes up residence with a remote Indian tribe. Soon he learns of a wood the Indians avoid, as it is inhabited by a dangerous Daughter of the Didi, who, they say, slew one of them with magic. The fellow was in fact hit with a poisoned dart by accident, but his dying belief that she had caught the dart and hurled it at him survived him.
Intrigued, Abel visits the wood repeatedly, and eventually encounters Rima. She indeed is something magical. She seems to have a pact with nature: animals don't molest her, she speaks in a melodious birdsong (as well as Spanish), and she even makes her garments of spider silk. When Abel is bitten by a venomous snake that acts protective of her, she and her 'grandfather' Nuflo nurse Abel back to health.
Both Abel and Rima are wonderments to each other, someone unlike any other person they have ever encountered. They fall in love, a love that is stymied by Rima's inability to understand the feelings Abel creates in her. On a long trek to discover Rima's origins, they find that her unique people no longer exist, but they finally confront the magnetism that is drawing them together. Finally they find joy, and make plans... until Rima is murdered by the Indians.
And then it is time for vengeance!

The Three Midshipmen by William Henry Giles Kingston audiobook.
Genre: adventure
In The Three Midshipmen, W.H.G. Kingston drops listeners onto the gun decks and quarterdecks of the Royal Navy, where three teenage midshipmen begin their lives at sea with more courage than experience. Bound together by friendship and rivalry, they must learn the hard rules of discipline, seamanship, and leadership while serving under demanding officers and facing enemies who do not forgive mistakes. From crowded ports to lonely watches at midnight, their world is shaped by sudden squalls, cramped hammocks, strict routine, and the constant possibility of action. As the ship is driven into danger by war and weather alike, the boys are tested in ways no classroom could prepare them for: split-second decisions aloft, tense encounters with hostile vessels, and moments when loyalty to shipmates matters as much as bravery. Kingston blends brisk nautical detail with coming-of-age stakes, showing how character is forged through duty, loss, and hard-won competence. The result is a classic sea story about friendship, honor, and earning your place on a ship where the ocean is always the final judge.

Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson audiobook.
Genre: adventure
David Balfour, a lad of seventeen and newly orphaned, is directed to go and live with his rich uncle, the master of the estate of Shaws in the lowlands of Scotland near Edinburgh. His uncle, Ebenezer (as close a miser as Dickens' Ebenezer Scrooge), is shocked to suddenly have his young relative descend on him and tries to rid himself of David with an arranged accident. Failing that, he pays the captain of a brig to kidnap David and sell him into slavery in Carolina.
A collision in the fog brings onboard the brig a survivor, Alan Breck Stewart, who is carrying a dangerous amount of gold on his person. David warns him of a plan by the brig's captain and crew to overpower him and seize the money, and then finds himself fighting alongside Alan in a battle royale. By good fortune, Alan is handy with a sword and they have access to the firearms locker, and the pair so completely defeat the crew that barely enough hands remain to sail her. Limping to port, she is holed by rocks, and David finds himself a castaway.
Being in Alan's presence continues to be a chancey business. David is talking to Colin Roy Campbell, the King's Factor who has been oppressing Alan's people, when the man is shot to death, and David is chased as an accomplice. The two 'take to the heather' and barely survive near brushes with redcoats as they thread through the Trossachs and other highland ranges of Scotland. Only after an arduous weeks-long trek through territory where they are actively hunted do they emerge in the more settled districts around the river Forth, only to find guards upon the bridge. With no money remaining, they must somehow cross to Queensferry, find Ebenezer's lawyer, and lay claim to David's inheritance in order to send Alan safely on to France.
