Archer Macclehan & the Girl Who Wouldn't Stop Running (The Archer Macclehan Adventures) (Volume 2) Sandy Compton First edition

Archer MacClehan has dreams that lead him into dangerous places. In Archer MacClehan & The Girl Who Wouldn't Stop Running ? the second Archer MacClehan adventure ? he dreams of vultures, a coral snake, a girl named Opal and Running Woman ? Sara Cafferty. Sara once fought a grizzly for Archer, but they haven?t spoken since the end of the Great Bear Adventure. They?ve thought about each , though ? very often. The dream leads Archer and his partners in adventure, Tom Sevlakovs and Jessie Turnbull, to the Uncompagre Plateau of western Colorado, where 13-year-old Opal Skladany has been kidnapped. Opal?s divorced parents are worth a few million each and someone wants a million from each of them ? 59 pounds of money according to Sara ? to return their daughter unharmed. Sara is already on the Uncompagre, a coincidence she can?t explain to anyone ? not even herself. Watching over all is Five Bears, Archer?s long-dead grandfather. He advises Archer that to catch Running Woman, he must stop running. There?s a snake in the grass ? very pretty and very poisonous ? helping the kidnappers. In the end, it?s a foot race across the desert as Sara strives to beat the snake to the girl who wouldn?t stop running.
