Overview

Finley is a heartwarming chapter book that blends adventure, emotional growth, and nature-based learning. Set in the vibrant amphibian town of Croaksville, this uplifting story follows Finley, a small but determined northern leopard frog who longs to hop higher, swim faster, and finally fit in. When he discovers a rare three-petaled wishing flower that blooms only once every decade, Finley is given the chance to transform his life with three powerful wishes. But magic isn't as simple as it seems. As Finley's wishes unfold, he quickly learns the classic lesson: be careful what you wish for. Unexpected consequences push him to rethink what strength, confidence, and belonging truly mean. And when nonstop rain threatens to flood Croaksville, Finley must rely not on magic, but on courage, problem-solving, and the unique abilities he's had all along. His journey highlights the importance of kindness, self-acceptance, and using one's gifts to help others. Perfect for young readers who enjoy animal adventures, gentle fantasy, and character-driven stories, Finley offers a meaningful blend of entertainment and education. The book includes engaging backmatter featuring northern leopard frog facts, making it an excellent choice for classrooms, nature units, and curious minds. Illustrator David Lock's warm watercolor art brings Croaksville to life with charm and personality. Ideal for fans of Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, Dear Girl, I Hope You Know, and other stories that encourage resilience, empathy, and inner strength, Finley reminds readers that even the smallest hero can make a big difference
