Second in 'The Dimwood Forest Chronicles'.
Saddened by the death of her friend Ragweed, Poppy once again journeys through the vast, dark Dimwood Forest to bring the tragic news to Ragweed's family.
But when Poppy and her prickly pal, Ereth the porcupine, arrive they find Ragweed's family already in turmoil. The quiet serene valley where Ragweed lived has been flooded by beavers, and the mice must move for fear of drowning.
Together, Poppy and Rye - Ragweed's brother - face kidnapping, imprisonment, and even death in their struggle to save the mice. Will they succeed and defeat the beavers? And will Rye manage to step out of Ragweed's shadow and prove himself worthy of Poppy's respect.
