[.ca] Poppy (ISBN 0380727692)

Top-Notch Animal Fantasy:
The mice who live in Old Gray House are ruled over by the evil great horned owl, Mr. Ocax. When Ocax denies permission for the mice to move to a new area with more food Poppy, whom Ocax has blamed for his refusal, decides to take the long voyage to the new area by herself. Thus begins a peril filled journey that will forever change Poppy's life. This book is top-notch animal fantasy. Compelling characters face danger, death and the unknown in doses that bring one to the edge-of-your-seat excitement. The tension is very intense but is offset by frequent doses of laugh-out-loud humour. I love this book. My 7yo was beside himself at various points in the plot, cheering and yelling words of caution to Poppy. This book is most certainly a big hit for both old and young. *A note about the reading order. Poppy is the first book written in this series but not the first book that is promoted by the publishers. Ragweed is labeled the first in the series but is actually a prequel and the third book published. Since I first read this series as it was being written I am now re-reading the remaining books in as published order, which I think gives a better flow to the character development. Ereth's Birthday is fourth in the series but also a stand-alone. I recommend the books be read in published order.

The best book ever:
The Best Book Ever If you want funny, thrilling, and exciting all at once, well I can give you it all in the book Poppy. It was thrilling because when Poppy the mouse fought with the mean old owl Mr. Ocax I was sure he was going to when, but she did. When she fell into the river I was sure she would drown, but she didn't. She stabbed the quill into Mr.Ocax and hung from it in the air I thought he would pull it of, but he didn't I think it was funny because Ragweed never talk normally and the lazy Tom Cat was so tired that he didn't eat Poppy witch mot cats do! It was exciting when Poppy killed Mr. Oacx, and when he thought the fake owl was real. You really should read Poppy because when you open the book fun and adventure

The Greatest Book:
The book Curse of the Mummy is thrilling funny and a little quirky. Odie the dog gets called Dodo Dog by two boys and sir droll by Garfield. One mummy came to life and almost killed Garfield and Odie. A fake mummy wears a clownish mask with a gold nose that has power. This book will make you learn a bit of Egypt and if you have a test you'll do well. Also, it will make you go to the history museum.

Review of Poppy:
Do you like exciting adventure books? Well if you do, the book Poppy would be a great book for you. This book is about a little mouse named Poppy who is trying to save her family from starving to death. She has all sorts of adventures like when she goes in to the forest where very few mice have come back alive to tell about it. Also, she almost gets eatin by a flesh eating owl named Mr. Ocax and when she was trying to cross a river she fell in and almost drownd to death. Mr. Ocax made a deal with the mice that he will protect them from other dangerous creatures if he becomes the ruler of their town and they have to ask him if he can cross the land. Poppy didn't and this is why she almost ended up being dinner for the owl. Poppy's family has over 100 mice and they are running out of food so Poppy has to go through all sorts of danger just to find a new home for her family. I liked this book because once the chapter was done I wanted to read the next chapter. The first night I read it I ended up reading half the book. Also, this book kept my attention all the way through and that is very unlikly to happen with books. This book is a easy finder and I got it for a low $5.99. If you want to know what ends up happening to Poppy and her family go get this book at the nearest book store.
