INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Avi,

Poppy and Ereth

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Brian Floca. A sense of loss permeates this final Poppy book, beginning with the deer mouse's husband's death and ending with a forest fire. In between, fast-paced action, cliffhangers, and porcupine Ereth's comical theatrics prevent the story from becoming too dark. Avi's affection for his cast is obvious; as always, Floca's thoughtful drawings add depth to the characters and bring the woodland setting to life.
