    Poppy and Rye: Best yet!

    Poppy and Rye is the my favorite of the Dimwood Series! It talks about a mouse named Poppy who was dancing in the fields when another mouse showed up and asked if he could dance with her. They magically dance along the field and then suddenely Rye runs off. Poppy finds out Rye's home is being flooded by beavers. This is a great story and ends with a giant sploosh!

    Awesome book

    I would recommend this book to someone who liked the book Ragweed ,the book before this one when Poppy falls in love with Ragweed when he is kidnapped and taken away. But in this book, Poppy and Rye, Poppy finds a new love and saves him from the evil beavers. Now, if you liked the book Ragweed,or books with talking mice and talking beavers, then I would recommend this book. Poppy a mouse that was once in love with Ragweed a brother of Rye her new love is set out on a adventure to find her true love and save him from the evil mouse killing beavers who are keeping Rye captive in their lodge. After several days Poppy finds a beaver dam and decides to find out whats going on, so she climes down a vine in the air vent and sees Rye locked up in wooden bars. Poppy then rushes over to find out what had happened to Rye. Rye tells his love Poppy that beavers are keeping him captive in till his parents move out, but knowing Poppy giving up is no option. Rye tells her she better be careful, Poppy returns to town and tells every one what has just happened and they believe her she then tells the people of the town the plan they then disagree with her. After a while every one is tired of not seeing Rye and decide yea we will do that plan of hers, and chase those nasties off too. But finally when they do so, the plan fails, and they all get chased off just as the porcupine comes looking for Poppy and wipes the beavers out in a single blow, knocking them all back in into the rushing water. The mighty porcupine warrior then asks for Poppy to bring the him back home, but at that very moment Poppy is returning to Rye to rescue him from the nasty beavers. By the time Poppy gets Rye out of the wooden cage the beavers were on to them Poppy then tells Rye that she will fake to be hurt then they will run for it and dash for the water witch is draining from the gigantic boulder that has struck the dam and broken it. Poppy rushed for the water with Rye, the water finished draining as they jumped in and they then ran down the mud pathway and toward the angry porcupine, they cheered in relief! Rye and Poppy then 6 hours later got married and lived happily ever after.

    Poppy and Rye review by Mercedes

    Poppy and Rye Review By Mercedes A great book kids all ages would like and have a great time reading is Poppy and Rye by Avi . This book is about a young mouse from Dimwood forest who was heartbroken over the death of her first love Ragweed. And so she was determined to go on a quest west were her beloved lived and tell the tragic news to his family . Traveling along is her friend Ereth the porcupine who in the first book Poppy is still with his funny insults .But along the way Poppy meets Rye in which she falls in love once again and marries . They meet early in her journey, but their growing love is temporarily pushed back by Rye's imprisonment within the lodge of tireless eager beavers. He is also held back by his fears that he can't live up to Poppy's memories of Ragweed, who was Rye's sometimes admired,and sometimes despised older brother. Unfortunately, the mouse's conflicting feelings about his brother are never clearly resolved, and Rye remains a less-developed character than Poppy, whose growth from being weak to brave is one of the previous book's achievements . Poppy and Rye also loses steam during a distracting subplot featuring Ereth the porcupine b/c of his love for Poppy, but still to me it tops the first book.

    Poppy and Rye

    Poppy and Rye, by Avi, is the second book of the sweet and beloved Poppy. Poppy is a deer mouse, and when her boyfriend Ragweed dies, she must tell his family what happened with her extremely grumpy porcupine friend Ereth. When she reaches Ragweed¿s home, she finds that the mice have moved out of their old home because it was flooded by beavers who dammed the nearby brook. Poppy also falls in love with Rye, a golden mouse who daydreams often, and is sick of being in his brother¿s shadow. The story takes place in woodlands on the outskirts of a forest, by a large, murky beaver pond. The book is a fiction story of suspense, romance, and tragic twists and turns. I enjoyed it because in a way, I could connect to Rye. I find this book best for those that enjoy adventure and suspense.

    Good Book, Some Problems

    This book was a very heartwarming tale of a mouse named Poppy and her quest to find her dead fiance's family, it was a very enjoyable read but i really thought of the character Ereth as annnoying and insensitive, he should have stuck up for his friend more, instead of hiding his feelings. The book's plot was interseting but if the author would have added an unkown or intersting minor plot to this it would have been a lot better. All in all a book i would recommend to young readers.

    It is an okay book........

    This book is NOT the best book I ever read, but it is pretty good. The part that I dislike about it is, it doesn't have a good plot. If you ask me, the story doesn't get exciting until you get to about the twentyth chapter!!!!!!!!!!!! I would not ordinarally pick this book up and read it over and over again. This book might be hard for fourth graders and under because of the difficult vocabulary.

    Poppy and Rye is great!

    I loved Poppy but I think Poppy and Rye is better. The great tale about Poppy the who wants to be a dancer and Rye Ragweed's brother. In the book Poppy she falls in love with Ragweed but he is killed. Then in Poppy and Rye she goes to tell Ragweed's parents what happed but they are having some troble with some with mean beavers. Overall this book is great. Avi is a great author.
