What this book is about
Poppy, a deer mouse, crosses the meadow where the terrifying Mr. Ocax rules as self-appointed guardian of all the mice—and survives when her companion is killed. Now she must journey to Dimwood Forest to find new land for her large family, facing Mr. Ocax's lies and a very different porcupine than she expected. Avi's beloved animal adventure is fast, funny, and grounded in a genuine animal logic.
