Synopsis
Poppy, a deer mouse, and Ereth, a grumbling porcupine, have been the best of friends for as long as the animals of Dimwood Forest can remember, an unstoppable pair ever since they defeated the tyrannical owl Mr. Ocax. But when bitter winter storms bury the forest in snow and Poppy's husband Rye dies suddenly, all Poppy wants is some privacy. Then, swooped up by Luci the bat, she is carried high over the forest, while Ereth, who was with her when she vanished, is convinced that she has died.
