jamesgamble 's review for:

The Indian in the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks

4.0

While the story itself is fantastical, I think the best writing of the book is showing the growth of the main character, Omri. The beginning of the novel shows him to be a typical child, but throughout the events of the story, he matures into child that not only thinks about the thoughts and feelings of others, but also begins to examine his own behavior and motivations. I think that he is incredibly well written and I think that's what really drove me to appreciate this book.
