Who is Harley James?

Embark On A Thrilling Historical Journey with the Harley James Series

Harley James isn't your average 11-year-old girl... every few months she is whisked away by her famous archeologist father to various ancient sites around the world. But hidden beneath the surface of these mind-blowing ruins often lies a deeper mystery... one that inevitably gets Harley into some trouble.

Her fascination with riddles and ability at solving puzzles is the suite of skills that landed Harley a coveted member position in the ancient secret society S.M.A.L.L (Society of Mysterious Artifacts, Legends, and Lore). As a member of S.M.A.L.L, Harley flexes her sleuthing skills to save the day, guided by the dogma of the three P's: Preserve, Protect, and Persevere.

Follow along with Harley and her friends as they race against time to solve riddles, clues and ancient mysteries.
