And in a daring jailbreak plot, Poppy infiltrates the beaver lodge in an attempt to set Rye free. She inspires the mice to fight back against the beavers, with a little help from a prickly friend. She wants to save Rye, and spend the rest of her life with him.
Poppy is determined not to let that happen. They want to use their little mouse prisoner– Rye– as leverage to get the other mice to move away. In their cheerful, progress-worshiping way, the busy beavers plan on turning the pond into a lake– and now they have their sights set on the boulder. These are the same beavers whose pond has driven the golden mice out of their longtime nest, to a dank hole under a bolder in higher ground. Wouldn’t you know it, Poppy meets Ragweed’s brother Rye, and the two fall in love at first sight.īut before anything can come of it, Rye has become a hostage to a beaver “construction company” that has been turning the peaceful brook into a pond filled with beaver condos. She cajoles her porcupine friend Ereth into going along. Poppy, our little deermouse heroine, has set out to find the family of her late fiancé Ragweed, so she can tell them how he lived and died. This is the sequel to Poppy, and the second of four books in the Tales from Dimwood Forest.
