The first book in the beloved Poppy series by Newbery Medal-winning
author Avi, with illustrations from Caldecott Medal-winning artist Brian
Floca
A mouse has to do what a mouse has to do. Ragweed is determined to see
the world. He leaves his family and cozy country home and sets off by
train for the big city. What wonders await him: music, excitement, new
friends...and cunning, carnivorous cats!
Silversides is the purring president of F.E.A.R. (Felines Enraged About
Rodents), a group dedicated to keeping cats on top, people in the
middle, and mice on the bottom. Can Ragweed and his motley yet musical
crew of city nice--Clutch, Dipstick, Lugnut, and Blinker--band together
to fight their feline foe?
