In the Mountains - The Adventures of Archibald and Jockabeb
The setting for second book in The Adventures of Archibald and Jockabeb series shifts from an eerie forest close the two brothers' Midwestern home, to a remote mountain range in the western United States. When Archibald and Jockabeb leave home to board a plane, they are completely unaware that they'll be the only two campers at Camp Bear Claw that summer. When they arrive at the camp, the boys find out that there are only two other people there--Gran, the elderly woman who owns the Camp Bear Claw, and Ben, the ranch hand who helps her. Worse yet, they soon hear stories from Ben about the strange and suspicious circumstances under which Gran's husband, Walt, died a terrible death, together with how a deadly creature might well be roaming in the mountains nearby.

When the boys leave camp early one morning with Ben and Gran's old dog, Champ, to hike high in the mountains to find Tommy Two Feathers, an old Indian who may shed some light on whether the rumors are fact or fiction, they have no idea that what they ultimately learn will connect back to Haktu and his tribe. After being joined by a white wolf named Ghost Rider, the boys, Ben, Champ, and Tommy Two Feathers set out solve a mystery that has gone on for over a century. As danger looms at almost every turn, Archibald and Jockabeb hope that the magic blue feather they received from Haktu really does have the power to protect them.

The reader once again has the opportunity to watch the two brothers' personalities evolve, especially Jockabeb. And, as in the first book, the classic battle between the forces of good and evil play out--only this time in rarified mountain air.

About the Author

After retiring as a high successful chairman and CEO of a Fortune 500 company, Art Collins didn’t write the book on leadership that many had expected he would. Instead, he authored a series of books for older children and teenagers. The Adventures of Archibald and Jockabeb series chronicles two young brothers as they grow from twelve and eleven into their mid-teens, together with the harrowing adventures they experience along the way. In addition to serving to the boards of directors of four large corporations, Mr. Collins currently advises a private equity firm, serves on the boards of two academic institutions, and is involved in several charitable organizations. Over the years, he has testified before Congress, interacted with numerous governmental bodies inside and outside the United States, chaired his industry association group, and been recognized for his leadership in commercial and civic activities. An avid outdoorsman, he currently splits his time between Chicago and the Vail Valley in Colorado.
