The Indian in the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks
3.0

Omri is given two particular gifts for his birthday that end up colliding in a peculiar way. When he puts the small plastic Indian into the cupboard his mother gave him, it comes to life. At first Omri is ecstatic about the idea about having his own real tiny Indian to take care of, but comes to learn that the situation is far more complicated than he thought.

I don't remember reading this book as a kid, but I do remember having watched the movie. While the idea and the messages are great, I think the plot is a little bland.
