Illustrated with b/w lively pictures by Brian Floca. "Four novels from one of children's literature's greats--Avi--are collected in a handsome boxed set that his many fans will treasure. The swashbuckling tales of life for the brave rodents and other woodland critters in the Dimwood Forest have an edge-of-seat appeal for readers of all ages. From the high drama of Ragweed, in which adventure-mouse Ragweed hops freight trains, joins a clan of hipster mice, and wages war against evil cats; to the heartbreaking and breathtaking saga of Ragweed's plucky sweetheart in Poppy; to the poignant tale of progress gone bad in Poppy and Rye; to the entertaining expletives of a porcupine foster pop to fox pups in Ereth's Birthday, Avi's stories are persistently engaging. Illustrator Brian Floca's mouse-eye perspectives and dastardly depictions of the villainous cats, owls, and beavers add loads of drama to this terrific series. "
