Illustrated by
Brian Floca.
In 'Poppy', the eponymous mouse heroine lost her first love, Ragweed, and now journeys to tell his family of his unfortunate fate. Accompanied by Ereth the porcupine, Poppy finds Ragweed's family in the midst of a crisis that leads to a desperate battle with some beavers. Accompanied once again by Floca's witty yet pastoral pencil drawings, this is a sequel worthy of its predecessor.
