Ragweed
Ragweed is so central a character in POPPY as well as in POPPY AND RYE, I needed to write a book about him so as to learn: how did he come to be the way he is? Where did he get that ring in his ear? Where did he come from. And, since Ragweed is somewhat different than the other mice in the series, I decided he had to go to different place, a city. Full of street talk, skate boards, and pop music, this is a different story.
