Publisher's summary

The first book in the beloved Poppy series by Newbery Medal–winning author Avi.

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?

Brilliant

Avi writes one compulsive page turner after another.

This series is the perfect introduction, no matter your age. It’s the perfect book and series.

Avi is from another planet.

Great story

I love the story! The Narrators voice is a little bit to old . It would sound better with a younger voice, I think 🤔

perfect for our second reading

we have loved this series reading before bed for a couple years now (7 year old son and myself) and as we are pausing before completing the final two books in the series, my son requested to " re-read" via audiobook because they are too good to read only once. so we are enjoying them again but with a new voice that makes it come alive all over again in a new way with a good performance.
