History Detective Club™
The Complete Six-Book Series—Beginning with the Award-Winning Seeds of Rebellion
Children don’t remember history because they memorized it. They remember because they cared about the people who lived it.
What if your child could walk the streets of Revolutionary Williamsburg, meet children their own age, and solve mysteries unfolding alongside real historical events?
The History Detective Club™ series transforms the American Revolution from a collection of names and dates into one unforgettable adventure—filled with time travel, hidden messages, dangerous secrets, and ordinary people making extraordinary choices.
Because history didn’t happen to someone else.
It happened to people just like us.
One Epic Adventure Through the American Revolution
Thirteen-year-old Rose Leonard never expected a mysterious pearl necklace to transport her from modern-day Virginia to Colonial Williamsburg in 1774.
There she meets Pearl, a courageous girl living through the growing rebellion. With the help of Rose’s modern-day friend Nathaniel, the three uncover mysteries hidden within one of the most important periods in American history.
From the first sparks of rebellion in 1774 to the victory at Yorktown in 1781, readers don’t simply learn what happened.
They worry about the people.
They wrestle with impossible choices.
They witness moments of fear, sacrifice, and courage.
And almost without realizing it, they fall in love with history.
This isn’t simply a collection of six books. It is one complete journey through the American Revolution, with every mystery building toward an unforgettable conclusion at Yorktown.
“My granddaughter will be ecstatic! She absolutely devoured the five other books—and even got in trouble for reading one in class instead of paying attention!”
—Grandmother of a History Detective Club reader

About the History Detective Club
About the History Detective Club
What if you could travel back to the moment America was born?
If you’ve ever strolled down Duke of Gloucester Street in the quiet moments—early morning before the crowds arrive, or in the soft blue dusk when the day has finally cooled—you may have felt it.
That flicker of a dream.
That whisper that maybe, just for a heartbeat, you’ve slipped backward in time.
When I worked as a costumed interpreter in Colonial Williamsburg, I lived for those moments. And one night, I had the kind of experience you never forget.
A fog had settled over the street after I had lead an evening of lantern tours. The shops were dark. The air was still. I gathered my cloak and walked alone down an empty Duke of Gloucester Street, the world hushed around me.
Then—footsteps.
Out of the mist came a man in breeches and cloak, a tricorn hat shadowing his face. As he passed, he tipped his hat and said softly,
“Good evening, my lady.”
And just like that, for one heartbeat, the centuries melted away.
That single moment became the seed of a story of a girl named Rose who finds herself slipping between her modern life and 1770s Williamsburg, uncovering mysteries from the earliest sparks of revolution.
If you’ve ever wished you could experience Colonial Williamsburg the way it feels in your imagination, quiet, alive, full of secrets, this series brings you there.
History Detective Club is historical fiction woven with time travel, real events, hidden letters, secret codes, and the living world of Revolutionary Virginia.
If you’ve ever dreamed of walking Duke of Gloucester Street and feeling time bend around you…If you love Colonial Williamsburg, living history, hidden corners, old taverns, candlelit windows, and stories where the past still feels alive… I wrote these books for you.
