Kim Thrift
This unabridged novel by Rudyard Kipling is the author's final (and some would argue best and most famous) book. It tells the story of Kim, a poor orphan in British-ruled India who is half Irish and half Indian. He must find his identity in an ever changing world, and he begins to follow a monk from Tibet for inspiration. Though he is young, he learns to blend into many kinds of society and trains as a spy for the British secret service. An amazing adventure story that also shares about other cultures.
