The Adventures of...
Archibald & Jockabeb
A nine-book adventure series spanning the globe — where two young brothers face the forces of good and evil in the most extraordinary places on Earth.
About the Series
A Classic Struggle Between Good and Evil
The Adventures of Archibald and Jockabeb chronicle two young brothers as they grow up experiencing one fantastic adventure after another — oftentimes dangerous and always exciting. The Archibald and Jockabeb series also showcases the classic struggle between the forces of good and evil.
When the boys' first great adventure begins to unfold, they are twelve and eleven years old. Over the ensuing years, they learn much from their incredible encounters with a host of truly memorable characters — some good, some very bad; some human, some anything but; some from this world, and some otherworldly beyond belief. It is important to note that the boys' adventures span nine books and we strongly recommend that readers begin with In the Forest and read the books in order to follow Archibald and Jockabeb as they grow older and occasionally recall previous adventures.

“Absolutely splendid writing on every level and Archibald and Jockabeb just may find their way onto the theater screens. Highly Recommended!”

Meet the Author
Art Collins
When Art Collins retired as a highly successful chairman and CEO of a Fortune 500 company, he didn't write the book on leadership that many had expected. Instead, he decided that penning adventure stories that could be enjoyed by young and old would be far more interesting, not to mention much more fun.
