bookworm_anna 's review for:
The Indian in the Cupboard
by Lynne Reid Banks
i was worried this wouldn’t hold up, as a book written in the ‘80s about natives, but it surprised me! i feel like the author tried to avoid easy stereotypes and actually did her research on the customs of Native Iroquois. Boone almost seems more like a caricature than Little Bear! he definitely uses slurs and stereotypes for Little Bear, and while i didn’t love it, it didn’t feel as egregious because it was in character.
I loved the moral dilemma Omri eventually faced, that these were PEOPLE not just play things and they couldn’t keep them as toys in good conscious. As someone who loves time travel (which this kinda is), i really love this series.
