With Poppy and Ereth, Newbery Award winner Avi brings his Boston Globe-Horn Book Award-winning Poppy series to a heartwarming conclusion. When a wintry blast buries the forest in snow and Poppy's husband suddenly dies, the deer mouse refuses to see anyone-including Ereth. The sad porcupine thinks he's lost his best friend forever. But when Poppy ventures forth again-longing for a springtime adventure-something swoops down from the sky and carries her far, far away. Convinced Poppy is dead, Ereth decides to give his dear departed friend a memorial service fit for a queen.
