A country mouse takes on the big city

Ragweed leaves his family and country home by train, trading familiar surroundings for a city full of music, new companions, and danger. There, he joins Clutch, Dipstick, Lugnut, and Blinker, a musical group of mice facing Silversides and F.E.A.R., an organization devoted to keeping rodents beneath cats and people. The setup brings together an adventure about venturing beyond home and a conflict over how mice and cats share the city. As the first book in Avi’s Poppy series, it introduces Ragweed’s urban world and the allies he finds there.

Book overview

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?
