The fourth book in the beloved Poppy series by Newbery Medal–winning author Avi

Heartbroken over the death of her fiancé, Ragweed, Poppy the deer mouse journeys west through the vast Dimwood Forest to bring the sad news to Ragweed's family. But Poppy and her prickly porcupine pal Ereth arrive only to discover that beavers have flooded the serene valley where Ragweed lived.

Wonderfully written!

Our family just loves these stories! Our children are ages 6, 8, 10, and 12. We listen in car rides and are never disappointed. Avi is a skilled writer, weaving ever-surprising turns of events into a well-planned plot that keeps our attention and never bores or disappoints. We all highly recommend all of the books in this timeless series.
