Who is Finley James Carter?

It's me! God created me with a super-duper curious brain which is what makes me a great DETECTIVE! And little did I know that when I found that shiny silver magnifying glass, that it would turn out to be MAGIC! Just how magic is it? Magic enough that when solving a mystery, it makes me shrink and become tiny!

I ride Elliott, my best mouse-friend, and together we have all kinds of exciting adventures while we solve whatever mystery God puts in our path. My stories include many other fun friends including Professor Delilah (a majestic butterfly), Bart the mosquito (the bully who likes to try and scare us), Sam-Sam (a giant garden spider with a huge heart), Borris my friendly dog and Snickers my bullfrog-chasing cat. Plus many more!

In each story, I give Detective Tips and am drawn outdoors where everything is larger than life, since I am the size of a marble! Hang on because you never know what is going to happen!

Book 1 Lost Locket

It all started when Leo & Lucy came to stay at my parent's vacation rental and their mom lost her favorite old gold locket. My detective brain immediately went into action!
Where did the necklace go?
Will I get squashed once I shrink and become tiny?
Will I be tiny forever?
Did the mean bully, Bart the mosquito and his buddies, take it?
Will Elliott and I get eaten by a hawk?

This is a wild & crazy adventure where I quickly learn that God loves me and is always with me! And as I trust in Him and work with my new friends (even though we are all very different) we discover that we are stronger when we work together.

Will I be able to solve this tricky case?

Even if I am, only the size of a quarter?
