From Artie and Sam's outrageous sandwich-making contests (the sight and smell of which makes Jenny nauseous), to the danger that lurks around every corner once Artie and his friends decide to solve a case, the humor and excitement is nonstop. In The Sky Prisoner Artie and his friends witness a small plane crash in the forest. When they arrive on the scene, the plane is empty, but they discover a coded message taped to the control panel.

In this humorous and exciting adventure, Artie runs across a suspicious airport manager, lots of cows, a gang of airplane thieves, and he takes an unplanned airplane journey halfway across the country, the prisoner of a singing pilot who can’t hit the high notes.
