Has Ereth lost Poppy forever?
Poppy, a deer mouse, has spent the long winter curled up inside her tree snag home in Dimwood Forest. When the ground thaws and life returns to the woods, Poppy sets out in search of excitement.
Suddenly, swooped up by Luci the bat, Poppy is flying high over the forest.
Meanwhile, Poppy's best friend, Ereth the grumbling porcupine, who was with Poppy when she vanished, is convinced that she has died. He sets out to give her the best funeral ever.
Can Poppy find her way out of the bats' cave to set Ereth straight and return home after the adventure of a lifetime?

The combination of an Avi adventure set in Dimwood Forest and the narration of John McDonough is perfect. In the latest adventure of mouse Poppy and her extended family, McDonough's rich and welcoming voice brings immediacy to the story, engaging the listener from the start. The animals are distraught over the death of Poppy's husband, Rye, a poet, and look to "Uncle" Ereth, the porcupine, to soothe and comfort them. McDonough handles the delicate situation with aplomb. He gentles his voice and lengthens his pauses when the animals are remembering the poet, roars with paw-stamping authority when decisions are needed, and blusters with each epithet Ereth utters--heightening the humor of the moment. This recording is a treat! A.R. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
