More About This Book

Overview

Poppy, the bold, charming deer mouse introduced in Avi's popular and highly acclaimed book by the same name, won the hearts of young readers, parents, and educators alike. Now the beloved mouse returns in a daring new adventure.

Poppy and Rye

Heartbroken over the loss of her beloved fiance, Ragweed, Poppy is making the long journey west to bring the sad news to his family, whom she's never met. There is no way Poppy can know that Ragweed's brother Rye is traveling east on his own quest for answers....

Coming across a beautiful green meadow in the forest, Poppy closes her eyes and begins to dance. Suddenly, she opens her eyes and, for one indescribable moment, thinks she sees Ragweed standing before her. Without a word, the strange new mouse takes her paws and the two dance in a graceful, magical duet. And then he is gone.

Has it all been a dream? Or has something truly extraordinary occurred? Poppy isn't sure. But when she finally reaches Ragweed's family, she discovers great trouble. Beavers are constructing a giant dam and flooding the home of the mouse family. The mice have turned for help to Rye, who has always lived in the shadow of his older brother. Now, Rye longs to prove himself to his family...and to the beautiful deer mouse who captured his heart in the meadow.

Before the battle is over, Poppy and Rye are drawn together in a dangerous showdown with the cruel and relentless dam builders. Braving kidnap, imprisonment, and a daring rescue, they carry out a brilliant plan, and with Poppy by his side, Rye dares rise to meet the expectations of his family and the mouse he loves.

Poppy the deer mouse urges her family to move next to a field of corn big enough to feed them all forever, but Mr. Ocax, a terrifying owl, has other ideas.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Newbery Honor author Avi (Tom, Babette and Simon, reviewed June 12) turns out another winner with this fanciful tale featuring a cast of woodland creatures. As ruler of Dimwood Forest, Ocax the hoot owl has promised to protect the mice occupying an abandoned farmhouse as long as they ask permission before ``moving about.'' Poppy, a timid dormouse, is a loyal, obedient subject-until she sees Ocax devour her fianc and hears the owl deny her father's request to seek new living quarters. To prove that the intimidating ruler is really a phony, Poppy embarks on a dangerous and eye-opening quest, which ends with her one-on-one battle with Ocax. While the themes about tyranny and heroism are timeless, Avi leavens his treatment with such 20th-century touches as Poppy's jive-talking boyfriend and Poppy's own romantic vision of herself as Ginger Rogers. An engaging blend of romance, suspense and parody, this fantasy is well-nigh irresistible. Illustrations not seen by PW. Ages 9-11. (Oct.)

From The Critics
The spirited mouse star from Poppy must now face life after Ragweed (her fianc who was killed by an owl). Poppy and her curmudgeonly porcupine friend Ereth leave Dimwood Forest in search of Ragweed's parents to tell them the sad news so that Poppy can "get on with her life." When they finally reach their destination, they discover it's hardly the "dullsville" that Ragweed had described. In fact, his family has been forced to leave their comfortable nest and move to higher ground: a clan of development-mad beavers are flooding out the residents in their efforts to turn the pastoral backwater into "Canad's Cute Condos." Along the way, Poppy encounters Ragweed's dreamy, poetic brother Rye, and before long the two mice are head over paws in love. When a showdown between the scheming beavers and the reluctantly heroic mice puts Rye in danger, Poppy risks everything to save him. Of course, all's well that ends well in this rollicking tale, which Avi infuses with generous helpings of adventure, romance and humor. He juggles multiple story lines effortlessly, and his characterizations are particularly engaging, from the blustering Caster P. Canad ("Bless my teeth and smooth my tail!"), head of the beaver coterie, to the smart-mouthed Ereth ("Look here, you pickle-tailed fur booger"). This thoroughly enjoyable sequel is sure to please old fans and will likely win some new ones. Ages 8-12. (June)

Meet the Author

Avi
Avi
Known for his unconventional vision and quirky creative style, Avi has penned scores of children's books that young readers devour with a passion. Twice awarded the Newbery Honor medal for his work, this prolific Pied Piper won the 2003 Newbery Medal for Crispin: The Cross of Lead -- an action-packed adventure set in 14th-century England.

Biography

Born in Manhattan in 1937, Avi Wortis grew up in Brooklyn in a family of artists and writers. Despite his bright and inquisitive nature, he did poorly in school. After several academic failures, he was diagnosed with a writing impairment called dysgraphia which caused him to reverse letters and misspell words. The few writing and spelling skills he possessed he had gleaned from his favorite hobby, reading -- a pursuit enthusiastically encouraged in his household.

Following junior high school, Avi was assigned to a wonderful tutor whose taught him basic skills and encouraged in him a real desire to write. "Perhaps it was stubbornness," he recalled in an essay appearing on the Educational Paperback Association's website, "but from that time forward I wanted to write in some way, some form. It was the one thing everybody said I could not do."

Avi finally learned to write, and well! He attended Antioch University, graduated from the University of Wisconsin, and received a master's degree in library science from Columbia in 1964. He worked as a librarian for the New York Public Library's theater collection and for Trenton State College, and taught college courses in children's literature, while continuing to write -- mostly plays -- on the side. In the 1970s, with two sons of his own, he began to craft stories for children. "[My] two boys loved to hear stories," he recalled. "We played a game in which they would give me a subject ('a glass of water') and I would have to make up the story right then. Out of that game came my first children's book, Things That Sometimes Happen." A collection of "Very Short Stories for Little Listeners," Avi's winning debut received very positive reviews. "Sounding very much like the stories that children would make up themselves," raved Kirkus Reviews, "these are daffy and nonsensical, starting and ending in odd places and going sort of nowhere in the middle. The result, however, is inevitably a sly grin."

Avi has gone on to write dozens of books for kids of all ages. The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle (1991) and Nothing but the Truth (1992) were named Newbery Honor Books, and in 2003, he won the prestigious Newbery Medal for his 14th-century adventure tale, Crispin: The Cross of Lead. His books range from mysteries and adventure stories to historical novels and coming-of-age tales; and although there is often a strong moral core to his work, he leavens his message with appealing warmth and humor. Perhaps his philosophy is summed up best in this quote from his author profile on Scholastic's website: "I want my readers to feel, to think, sometimes to laugh. But most of all I want them to enjoy a good read."

Good To Know

In a Q&A with his publisher, Avi named Robert Louis Stevenson as one of his greatest inspirations, noting that "he epitomizes a kind of storytelling that I dearly love and still read because it is true, it has validity, and beyond all, it is an adventure."

When he's not writing, Avi enjoys photography as one of his favorite hobbies.

Avi got his unique nickname from his twin sister, Emily..

Read an Excerpt

Poppy and Rye

Chapter One

Clover and Valerian

Clover! Clover, love. You need to wake up! Something awful is happening."

Clover, a golden mouse, was small, round and fast asleep in a snug comer of her underground nest. Too sleepy to make sense of the words being spoken to her, she opened her silky black eyes, looked up, and gasped.

Was that Ragweed leaning over her? Ragweed was a particular favorite of her sixty-three children. He had gone east in search of adventures but had not been heard of for four months. Clover missed him terribly, and kept wishing he'd come back.

Her eyes focused. She could see more clearly now. "Valerian," she asked, "is that you?"

Valerian was Clover's husband. He was a long-faced, lanky, middle-aged golden mouse with shabby fur of orange hue and scruffy whiskers edged with gray. His face bore the fixed expression of being perpetually overwhelmed without knowing quite what to do about it. At the moment his tail was whipping about in great agitation.

"Is something the matter with the children?" Clover asked. She had recently given birth to a new litter — her fourth that year — and was so tired, she hadn't ventured from the nest in more than a week.

"They're fine," Valerian assured her. "But Clover, you've got to see what I've discovered. You've not going to believe it."

"Can't you just tell me what it is?" Clover replied with a yawn. She never got enough steep.

"Clover," Valerian whispered, "we're...we're in great danger."

A startled Clover looked about the nest where she and Valerian and all their children had made their home for six happy years. A small,deep and comfortable nest consisting of three chambers, each of its rooms was lined with milkweed fluff. There were a family room, a master bedroom, and the children's nursery, where thirteen of the children were currently sleeping. The most recent litter — three in number and barely a week old — were still blind and without fur. They were with Clover.

"Clover, love," Valerian urged, "please get up. It's not the children. But it will affect them. Badly."

With Clover, an appeal to family never failed. She forced herself up.

The two mice made their way up the entry hole to the ground surface. The long, twisting tunnel had a few storage rooms — one filled with nuts, another with dried berries, a third with seeds — built into the walls. Though Clover was, as usual, hungry, there was no time to eat.

When Valerian reached the ground's surface, he stuck his nose out of the entry hole, sniffed, then gazed about. Certain there were no foxes, wild cats or snakes, or any other danger about, he hauled himself out of the hole. Clover followed.

Tall, leafy trees, bushes, and brambles veiled the late summer sky, a sky aglow with the light of a full moon. The air was humid, the breeze soft. Barks and buzzes, grunts and chirps seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere all at once.

Valerian scampered down one of the many paths that radiated from the nest. When he took the path that followed a steep decline, Clover knew they were heading for the Brook.

"The Brook," as the mice called it, meandered lazily between low, leafy banks. Water lilies floated on its wide, shallow surface. There, fireflies flashed, butterflies danced. Mosquitoes, like ancient instruments, droned. Water bugs scooted. Cattails, standing tall, swayed to the rhythms of the night.

With nothing rough or dangerous about the Brook, the young mice loved to frolic about its banks. Rarely was the water more than six inches deep. Splendid to splash in. Fun to swim in. Sometimes the mice made rafts of bark chips and went boating. Indeed, it was the closeness of the Brook and its serenity that caused Clover and Valerian to build their nest and raise their family where they did.

That night everything was changed.

The water was muddier and deeper than it ever before had been. A full three feet of bare earth at the base of the pathway — the children's beach — had sunk beneath water. Lily pads and cattails were gone. No bugs teased the Brook's surface. Chips of wood floated here, there, everywhere.

"Look!" Valerian cried, in a hushed voice. He pointed downstream.

At first Clover didn't see it. Only gradually did she perceive the massive mound of sticks, twigs, and logs that spread across the full width of the stream.

"Why...my goodness," she gasped. "It's a...dam! But...but why?"

Valerian pointed to the water's edge.

"What should I be looking at?" asked a puzzled Clover.

"The water," Valerian whispered. "Watch."

Clover stared until, with a shock, she jumped back. "Valerian," she cried, "the water is rising!"

"Exactly."

"But...if it keeps coming this fast, our home will be...flooded! "

Valerian nodded. "Clover, love, I'm afraid the whole neighborhood is going under."

"But...but," Clover stammered, who would do such a dreadful thing?"

"Take a gander out there," Valerian urged. This time he pointed across the water.

Clover stared. At first she thought she was seeing nothing more than a floating brown lump of earth or wood. Then, with a start, she realized it was an animal swimming on the water's surface.

He was a large, portly fellow, with thick, glossy brown fur, a black nose, and two beady eyes. Two enormous buck teeth — brilliant orange in the light of the moon — stuck out from his mouth like chisels.

"A...beaver!" Clover exclaimed. Just to say the word brought understanding: Beavers had come and dammed the Brook.

As Clover and Valerian stared, the beaver saw them. Lifting his water-soaked head, he offered an immense, toothy smile.

"Bless my teeth and smooth my tail!" the beaver called out in a loud, raucous voice. "I do believe it's my new neighbors! Hey, pal! Evening, sweetheart! Tickled pink to meet up with you. The name is Caster P. Canad. But everybody calls me Cas. Hey," he added with another toothy grin, "you know what the old philosopher says, 'A stranger is just a friend you haven't met.'

"As for me, I'm head of the construction co that's doing the work here. Canad and Co. 'Progress Without Pain,' that's our motto."

"But...but...you've...destroyed our brook," Clover managed to say.

"Easy does it, sweetheart, easy does it," Mr. Canad boomed with insistent good nature. "Don't need to make a mountain out of a molehill, do we? Or for that matter," he added with a laugh that set his belly to shaking, "an ocean out of a puddle."

Without saying another word, Valerian and Clover turned and fled back up the path.

"Have a nice day!" the beaver shouted after them, though it was the middle of the night. "I mean that, sincerely!"

As the two mice dashed toward their nest, all Clover could think was, "Oh, Ragweed. Please, please come home. We need you! Where are you?"

    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.
