Book Review By Mai Tsuji
Poppy by Avi

    Poppy is a young deer mouse whose troubles began when she and her mouse mate Ragweed are caught on a hill by Mr. Ocax, the owl. Without his permission, he immediately justifies his rules by killing Ragweed, and Poppy manages to scrape an escape from his deadly talons.
    After another terrifying encounter with Mr. Ocax to ask permission for her entire family to move into a new farm, she is blamed on all sides by her siblings when their request was denied. Heartbroken and lonely, Poppy sets off on her own journey to ask help from a mysterious creature in the forest, the only animal that Mr. Ocax has ever feared...
