Louisa Young, 23 March 2008, Mail on Sunday"A fast-paced, first-person thriller. Her book's Mexico setting is richly evoked, and its historical and conspiracy elements are convincingly delineated." James Lovegrove, 2 Feb 2008, Financial Times"A gripping survival story begins...a boy's fantasy of pyramids, caves and tunnels. Josh's quest for a long-lost Mayan text giving the key to salvation is bound up with his personal destiny in an unexpected way. But he is also, like all 13-year-olds, uncertain of what the future will bring. Harris cleverly captures this pivotal period." Carole Mansur, 15 March 2008, The Telegraph"Indiana Jones would have stiff competition in young Joshua Garcia . . . This novel is well written, with the action unfolding at a fast and satisfying clip. This series is destined to be a hit...the many mysteries and unanswered questions will have the reader begging for the rest of the series. Highly Recommended." Library Media Connection, September 2010, starred review"An exciting adventure and coming-of-age story with plot twists and cliffhanger chapter endings that will keep you up all night to finish ."

Happy Journey is the second book in the Teachable Moment Series collection written by P.E.Harris. As with the first book 'The Door', Happy Journey explores wide-ranging topics, some of which allow the parent, teacher or guardian to teach life lessons, while simultaneously entertaining the child. A great teaching tool that will hopefully instill a love of reading at a young age, in addition to being fun and insightful.

The Door is the first book released in the Teachable Moments Series, an ongoing collection of (almost) free children's books by Texas author, P.E.Harris. A fun book of poetry, with subjects ranging from day-to-day life and activities, to slightly more complex issues that allow the parent, guardian or teacher flexibility to teach and guide as they go. All books in this series are $0.99 (lowest price per site requirements) to download electronically, and physical books are available at production costs only.

Writing 'The Wanderer' was the most fun I've had writing a children's book. Living in several different countries and visiting many more has helped mold a more universal perspective that I hope will be visible in the writing. Hopefully you will enjoy not only the new direction of the poems, but the new illustrations as well. Thanks again for your support!
