The Adventures of Anastasia Finn • Book One
Anastasia and the Dust Gnomes
A bath-time emergency of administrative importance.
One ordinary family supper becomes something else entirely when Anastasia learns that children who do not bathe may be providing valuable real estate to a very small civilization.
The Adventures of Anastasia Finn • Book Two
Anastasia and the Air-Cooled Potato Chips
A windy picnic. An unfinished road. A snack-related emergency.
On the hills of Didgori, Anastasia discovers that potato chips should never be eaten before they are properly air-cooled. Unfortunately, the wind—and several very official gnomes—have other ideas.
The Adventures of Anastasia Finn • Book Three
Anastasia and the Sacred Number 67
The first trilogy closes. The paperwork does not.
Anastasia has been six for nearly an entire year. Becoming seven should be simple — until the Department of Numbers, disputed records and a deeply suspicious 67 get involved.
Inside the world
Warm family life. Tiny bureaucracy. Older magic.
The books begin in a recognizable Georgian home and slowly reveal a hidden world running beside the ordinary one.
A world at miniature scale
Crumb roads, sock houses, ministries, permits, nine kings and — regrettably — only one crown.
Wonder without losing home
The magic can grow large, but the emotional center stays small, safe and close to family.
