About Poppy, not to brag but this girl in my class was related to the guy who wrote them and in like second grade we were reading them and we got to read the unpublished manuscript of the next book 👀👀 I’ve been waiting my whole life to tell someone this bc I’ve never met anyone else who remembered or cared about these books.
and why did YOU get to live MY dream. yeah it seems like people were always more interested in warriors, or less commonly redwall, or that owl one, never met anyone else who was into poppy as a kid (or silverwing which is like the bat equivalent, so good)! i've always loved the talking animal genre though, been obsessed with watership down since I read it in 7th grade, and that's kind of translated into me seeking out non-kids books with that kind of theme as an adult (relatively easy when you like scifi too).
i wonder what avi was like! kind of a mythological figure to me since i used to read so much of his stuff. oh my god wait hold the phones. IT LOOKS LIKE A NEW POPPY BOOK WAS PUBLISHED LIKE, LAST YEAR?
