Review # 1 was written on 2015-06-26 00:00:00 Kenneth CairnsIf Avi writes it, I will read it. He's a MASTER of children's books. Few people so cleverly weave political allegories, adventure, and do it as he does so that small children AND their parents can enjoy reading them. Book 1 -Ragweed - was about mice vs cats in a very "minorities deserve rights in the face of racism" way. Book 2, Poppy, was a "let my people go from this brainwashed totalitarian regime", and this one is about beavers building a dam and forcing everyone to move out under the guise of "progress" (a.k.a. corrupt business practices rooted in narcissism, greed and negligence for others). I feel like the villain in this book wasn't as clear-cut as Mr. Ocax or Snowball, but that's not a bad thing. Still, Avi does a terrific job with making Mr. Canad the beaver a right jerk. Poppy's writing is not out of character, nor are the actions of the other characters, who are all new except for Ereth the porcupine. The pacing was great. The prose was excellent as usual. My only real complaint is that the romance that ensues I felt was a bit rushed / forced, considering the circumstances. I would still whole-heartedly recommend this series to ANYONE, and it's not often where a series continues to be as excellent as the first installment. This is one of those series. 9.5/10 |
Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-08 00:00:00 Angel RichardsAfter reading Poppy for the fifth or sixth time, I wanted to learn more about the characters in Dimwood Forest. This one introduces some eager beavers -eager to banish Ragweed's family from an area where they live, and of course Poppy finds her way in the middle of things. By the way, she falls in love with Rye, Ragweed's brother, and at the same time irritates her friend, Ereth, who is, in my opinion, grouchy like a lot of humans that I know. This book is just OK. |
