A review by kimball_hansen
The Key to the Indian by Lynne Reid Banks

4.0

Finally, after nearly 23 years I got to read this book which I never knew existed until a few weeks ago. I think I'll give it 4.5 stars. For fun.

I hate queer Patrick so much.

I'm surprised that Little Bull didn't just take them with them up north up until Patrick sent them back. They were left to freeze alone all night.

I don't understand the point of having his dad or even Omri come back to Little Bull's time just to give them an idea of what to do. He couldn't explain it to Little Bull in their world and then Little Bull would have told the tribe about it when he went back?

I think it would have been better to have Omri's mom being in on the secret instead of the Dad because the mom is the relative to the makers of the key and cupboard. Plus she could have seen her great aunt.

What is Omri's special gift again?
