When Little Archie, Betty, and Veronica head out for a picnic in the Hockomock Swamps, they expect a simple day of fun—until they uncover the truth behind Granny Sage’s reclusive ways.

When Mad Doctor Doom recruits the Ice Mice—Arctic rodents with breath so cold it can freeze a bullet midair—he sets his sights on stealing the Rare Ruby Rooster from the Humble Home Bank. With Chester Punkett’s help, the plan seems flawless—until a stolen silver fox tail from Little Jughead Jones’s bike sends Little Archie Andrews straight into the middle of the chaos.
When a rare Penny Black stamp escapes from Fred’s collection and sails out the window on a whimsical breeze, Little Archie, Little Jughead, and Little Moose team up to retrieve it—launching a makeshift plane that defies gravity and refuses to come down. The boys’ wild chase through the neighborhood becomes a hilarious test of patience and ingenuity, all thanks to a stubborn spring wind and a stamp that won’t stay put.

The unexpected discovery sparks a shared moment of vulnerability, turning a routine errand into an unlikely connection between two longtime figures in the school’s daily rhythm.
When Little Archie’s lucky coin vanishes at the circus, he and Jughead team up to track down the thief—only to uncover a twist that ties the pickpocket to the circus owner himself. With the help of a mysterious figure known only as Major and a suspicious performer named Ringer, the boys must piece together a mystery that’s as tangled as the circus tent ropes.
