A satisfying ending to a really heartfelt series!
Published by Jessica , 1 year ago
The Dimwood Forest series is really very special in my opinion. Avi is great at discussing serious themes in a relatable but uplifting way.
In Poppy and Ereth the main theme is retaining your personal identity as you get older and your kids move out and your partner passes away. The new characters were delightful and the returning characters were still wonderful.
And Brian Floca’s illustrations are truly beautiful and crisp in the new books! Really a delightful little story.
