“At the very edge of Dimwood Forest stood an old charred oak where, silhoutted by the moon, a great horned owl sat waiting. The owl’s name was Mr. Ocax, and he looked like death himself.”
This is a story about a mouse called Poppy. I like the way she has a ginormous family. She is determined to prove that she can help them move house. To do that, she has to fight against Mr. Ocax, who calls himself the ruler of Dimwood Forest, where they live.
Nobody really supports Poppy, apart from one of her cousins and a porcupine. Mr Ocax says porcupines eat mice, but actually they don’t. And he also says that he protects mice from porcupines, but actually he’s scared of them himself!
It was really nice and I think it was a good book. AMMN
