Book by: Avi
PowerPoint By: Shaye
Chapter I Mr.Ocax
Poppy the mouse really wants to have a
romantic dance with her boyfriend Ragweed
under a log on Bannock Hill cause under a log
will be safer. Instead Ragweed would just stand
outside the log. Ragweed wore a earring and a
chain around his neck. Right when Poppy finally
got out of the log worried the owl Mr.Ocax the
owl that rules the forest and she was not aloud
well nobody was aloud to go on Bannock Hill
without Mr.Ocax’s permission. But when she got
out of the log she screamed Ragweed and
Ragweed said “hold on let me just eat this
perfect hazelnut” but before they could do
anything Mr.Ocax swooped down and scrapped
Poppy's noise and grabbed Ragweed and flew
away with Ragweed dead in his mouth Poppy
fainted Mr.Ocax said he’d be back for Poppy.
Chapter 2 Poppy Remembers
Poppy and her family were talking about
how dangerous porcupines are to mice and
they have to ask Mr. Ocax’s permission to go
on the mountain. But the dad doesn’t want
them to because he thinks creatures would
get the mice confused with porcupines. They
are thinking about flash backs of Ragweed .
Poppy is still on the mountain hiding from
Mr.Ocax . She missed ragweed I would too if
I were Poppy.
Chapter 3 poppy alone
Poppy escaped from Mr.Ocax. He got super frustrated
trying to catch Poppy. Poppy was relieved that she got away.
The owl threw up Ragweed's earring and bones that he
wasn’t able to swallow. She kept the earring
Chapter 4 The
Emergency Meeting
Poppy’s family calls an emergency meeting in Grey House.
Poppy cant decide what to say to her parents about
Ragweed because they wanted to know what happened. So
she told them about Ragweed. Now Poppy’s dad wants
poppy to go to Mr.Ocax with him. Her dad is mad at Poppy
because her and Ragweed didn’t ask permission with
Mr.Ocax to go on Bannock Hill.
Chapter 5 Leaving Grey House
Poppy told the whole family about Ragweed. The dad takes Poppy to
Mr.Ocax. They are keeping the emergency meeting flag up. Poppy has never
seen her dad afraid before but he was. They saw Mr.Ocax watching tree and
heard him too.
Chapter 6 standing
before Mr.Ocax
They find Mr.Ocax. The dad mouse
introduced Poppy to Mr.Ocax Mr.Ocax
says “I think we've already met” Poppy
was very scared. Mr.Ocax asked what
happened to her nose? Poppy didn’t
know what to say because Mr.Ocax did
it. Lungwort asked for permission to
go to New House. Mr.Ocax asked why
and Lungwort said there's not enough
food around grey house. He said no
because Poppy didn’t ask permission
to go to the hill. Mr.Ocax said he
would let them move if they let Poppy
stay for his dinner but they didn’t do
that so they headed home.
Chapter 7 Home Again
Poppy thought why she had gone
to this hill with out the owls
permission. When they got back
from Mr.Ocax’s tree all of the mice
were cheering. Poppy told them
that Mr.Ocax didn’t let them move
to new house it was all because of
her and she didn’t ask permission
to go to Bannock Hill everyone was
a little disappointed with Poppy.
Just until she pulled out Ragweed’s
earring everyone was surprised to
see it. She thought that she heard
Mr.Ocax refusing permission to
move to new house but it was just a
dream.
Chapter 8 Poppy And Papa
grey house
Papa is ill. They say they’ve never seen him
look so poorly. Poppy goes to talk to him Papa
is upset with Poppy too. Poppy thinks that
Papa’s hair has even grown grayer than it was.
Poppy thinks that Mr.Ocax has something at
new house that he doesn’t want them to see
there so she left to New House.
New house
Chapter 9 On her
way
Poppy found a pair of slippers so she put them on her feet
she pictured as someone kissing her paws. She started to
dance just like the people in the pictures she seen. She
thought that she heard someone whispering in her ear.
Poppy couldn’t figure how to get over Glitter Creek so she
decided to jump from rock to rock in the creek when she
came the spot when a turtle sleeping on a rock that she had
to jump on she has to try and make a quick leap on to the
turtles back when she was thinking about doing that plan she
saw another low rock to jump on she saw Mr.Ocax flying
toward her while she was on the rock she tried to jump to the
other low rock but she didn’t make it she fell into the water
she swam for a long time under the water when she got out
of the water she lay down on her back with her eyes closed
when she woke up she rolled over and threw up the water
that she had swallowed under the water.
Chapter 10 Dimwood Forest
Chapterchach10 Dimwood Forest
Poppy is searching for a place to hide from Mr.Ocax. She suddenly
heard a small tapping sound she wondered where it was coming she
ducked. A little while later she heard another one from a different
direction she got so scared she started to shiver! She almost found
was making that noise but when she did she would have
froze!!!!!!!!!! It was a fox the fox chases her into a log there was a
porcupine in that log the porcupine's name was Ereth it turned out
that he was very nice and lazy.

what the bees
butts are you
talking about
Chapter 12 what poppy
learns
They found out that Mr.Ocax is lying and porcupines will not eat
mice because they are vegetarians. Poppy wants to take a nap so
she layed down. a Ereth walked in and said I wouldn’t be resting
there. Poppy asked why? Ereth said because that’s my toilet.
Poppy got out.
Chapter 13 Early Morning
Poppy woke up in a nice warm and cozy spot and Ereth wasn’t there
when Ereth came back Poppy said to him do you love anything? Ereth said
yes I do Poppy said what is it and Ereth replied salt. The salt is at new
house but I cant reach it said Ereth but you can climb and get it for me.
Well Poppy said will you maybe take me to new house? Well only if you
can get me the salt. Deal said Poppy.
Chapter 14 On the way to new
house
They were walking to new house. She sees
Mr.Ocax following them. Ereth thought she
was lying. They thought that Ocax didn’t want
them to see something at new house. They
got to new house when they get there they
see an owl TWICE THE SIZE OF
MR.OCAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chapter 15 Alone Again
Ereth didn’t notice the big owl he just
wanted the salt. So he left Poppy all alone.
She fell when she got up to the salt she didn’t
see Ereth in the corn field when Ereth left he
left one of his quills Poppy kept it for
protection. Poppy did not know why Mr.Ocax
didn’t want her family to move to new house.
I think it’s a fake owl.
Chapter 16 The truth at last
There was a tom cat Poppy thought that the owl
would eat the cat. The just slept he also found a boy
with a hook Poppy had never seen a real person.
The boy pet the cat and went into the barn. Poppy
saw the boy turn the owl on the window sell. Poppy
is watching to see if the owl is fake and it was. She
got scared of the deer and the fawns so she almost
used the quill. Poppy asked the tom cat about the
owl the cat said the owl was fake . Mr.Ocax is scared
of the owl he doesn’t know it’s fake.
Chapter 17 A surprising
conversation
The forest made her think of Ereth and how she promised
to get him the salt but she didn’t know how. Poppy also wants
to tell Mr.Ocax about what she discovered at new house
Poppy called “Mr.Ocax!!!!!!!”. Mr.Ocax couldn't find where the
voice is coming from so Poppy yelled over here. Poppy said to
Mr.Ocax its an awful feeling to be scared isn’t it? He didn’t
reply. When they were about to talk Mr.Ocax was gone the
next thing you know Mr.Ocax plunged down behind Poppy.
Chapter 18 The battle
Ragweed's earring saved Poppy. But she fell on the open
road. Mr.Ocax stopped Poppy and said I don’t want you
getting home alive tonight. Poppy got so afraid she just yelled
out “ you're afraid of a fake owl you’re not an owl you’re a
chicken.” Mr.Ocax snapped his beak and starred at Poppy
while swooping above her. Mr.Ocax reached his claw down
and just missed Poppy. She put the quill in his paw and hung
onto it she let go of Ocax and he fell on the salt so hard he
was half way dead. There is a lot more action.
Chapter 19 The return
She looked at one of his feathers that flew off of him she
had never looked at an owl feather before but she liked it she
liked the feeling and the pattern on it. Mr.Ocax said softly why
did I even bother protecting you mice anyway. And those
were his last words in other words bye bye Ocax he was dead.
Chapter 20 A new beginning
Poppy got married to a guy named rye. They had babies and they moved
next to the tree where Ragweed died they hung up his earring on the branch and
danced around it and told memories from that place .
