Has Ereth lost Poppy forever?
Poppy, a deer mouse, has spent the long winter curled up inside her tree
snag home in Dimwood Forest. When the ground thaws and life returns to
the woods, Poppy sets out in search of excitement.
Suddenly, swooped up by Luci the bat, Poppy is flying high over the
forest. Meanwhile, Poppy's best friend, Ereth the grumbling porcupine,
who was with Poppy when she vanished, is convinced that she has died. He
sets out to give her the best funeral ever.
Can Poppy find her way out of the bats' cave to set Ereth straight and
return home after the adventure of a lifetime?
