bethlrodgers 's review for:
The Indian in the Cupboard
by Lynne Reid Banks
I hadn't read this book since I was a little kid, but it held up just as well. Lynne Reid Banks did a fantastic job in this story making the sentences crisp, clear, and deliciously descriptive. I love the way she writes, and I think it makes for an even more fantastical and engaging novel.
When Omri finds out that the gift he got for his birthday (which he wasn't too keen on to begin with) can magically transform into a real live Indian brave through the magic of a special cupboard and key, he becomes enthralled with the world of Little Bear (the Indian). Trouble ensues when Omri's friend Patrick finds out and wants to be a part of it, but he doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut. For Patrick, they bring a cowboy named Boone to life, but cowboys and Indians don't mesh too well together, and even more trouble comes from this pairing. But as time goes on, Little Bear and Boone find some common ground, as do Omri and Patrick who had been fighting over the magical discovery and what to do about it.
If you're looking for a fun, magical, twists and turns kind of read that will delight you as both a child and an adult, this is the book for you.
