Bomba the Jungle Boy at the Moving Mountain by Roy Rockwood
This is #2 in the Bomba Series by Roy Rockwood
This tale describes how Bomba defeats a band of dangerous headhunters from the distant Giant Cataract. This time they are lead by Tocarara, the co-Chieftain and half brother of the wounded Nascanora. It was Bomba himself who wounded Nascanora. The Medicine Man Ruspak is present again and is even forced by the Jungle Boy to cure a dying Cody Casson!
After the savages retreat to their old haunts, Bomba drops Cody off with Pipina the old Indian squaw and finally begins his journey to the Moving Mountain, where Jojasta the Medicine Man rules in a ruthless and cruel fashion. Along the way, he battles jaguars and snakes and rescues the Parkhursts, a family of explorers, from the headhunters.
Once Bomba arrives at the Moving Mountain, he saves the lives of Ashati and Neram, former slaves of the Medicine Man and he confronts Jojasta who verifies that Bomba does indeed look like Bartow but that if he wanted to learn more of him and Laura, he must undertake another journey, this time to Sobrinini's isle, the Isle of Snakes, ever so close to the Giant Cataract!

Bomba is a young man about 13 or 14 years old. He can not remember his parents, so something must have happened to him or his parents. He simply can not remember. Raised by a man named Cody Casson in the Amazon rain forest, Bomba the Jungle boys wants dearly to find out who his parents were, and where they are.
One day, while roaming the Amazon jungle, Bomba meets the explorers Dorn and Gillis and in doing so, saves their entire camp from a savage jaguar attack. Promising to return one day, they leave gifts (including a pistol) and then head for the coast while Bomba soon runs into a party of dreaded headhunters from the distant Giant Cataract. After escaping their clutches initially, the jungle boy secures the friendship of a local tribe,the Araos, before racing back to Cody, to defend all he holds dear.
Combating snakes, a cayman, vultures, pumas and vampire bats, Bomba returns to the hut he shares with the old naturalist, Cody Casson and by trickery, courage and the stout friendship of his local animal friends, they defeat the marauders.
Cody, who experiences moments of lucidity, recalls the names "Laura" and "Bartow" and adds that Jojasta, the Medicine Man of the distant Moving Mountain, can shed some light on Bomba's parentage. It is to this terrible land that Bomba will go to next, in his quest for knowledge of his past and origins!
