The Key to the Indian by Lynne Reid Banks
3.0
The final adventure of Omri and Little Bear. And it's a bit of a relief to readers, really. The previous book manages a good resolution, but Banks apparently had one last thing to cover: the fate of Little Bull's tribe. Onri and his father work together to find a way to save them, without also altering the fabric of time. If that's possible. It's really unclear.
There's also a bit about Omri's friend, Patrick, turning back to his jerk ways, which is just REALLY unsatisfying! After four books of Patrick getting to know the miniature people, seeing his last act of immaturity seems more like filler from the author than logical behavior on his part. It negates all the character development he's done in the series, and that's part of why some stars got knocked off.
I suppose if you got to book 4 in the series, there's no reason to stop you finishing it. The quality remains consistent, even if the characters haven't precisely done so. And, if you can get the audiobooks, it's nice to hear the author herself reading, giving each line the inflection she'd imagined during writing.
