King of the Night

At the very edge of Dimwood Forest stood an old charred oak where, silhouetted by the moon, a great horned owl sat waiting. The owls name was Mr. Ocax, and he looked like death himself. With his piercing gaze, he surveyed the lands he called his own, watching for the creatures he considered his subjects. Not one of them ever dared to cross his path. . .until the terrible night when two little mice went dancing in the moonlight. . .

Présentation de l'éditeur

It's not always easy being brave - especially if you are a deer mouse and only six inches long (and three inches of that is your tale!). Nevertheless, Poppy, with her beautiful orange-brown fur, dark round eyes and pink toes is forced to become braver than any other mouse. She and her family live in an old house on the edge of the sprawling, sinister Dimwood Forest. They are ruled over by Mr Ocax, a great horned owl who dwells in Dimwood. But the mice are not just his subjects - they are also his dinners . . .
This is the journey of a small mouse into a big, dark forest, but also one of courage and self-discovery. Deftly mixing humour, horror and pathos, all author Avi's colourful creations live memorably off the pages of the four books that make up The Dimwood Chronicles.
