fauxbot 's review for:

The Indian in the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks
4.0

I hadn’t thought about this book in years, and then my sister mentioned it to me and it brought back a flood of memories. She said it had been banned, and she wasn’t sure if she should read it with her son, so of course I dashed in to read it as tribute.

It was such a charming story. You can see almost instantly how the child cares for his new friend, works through his preconceived notions, stands up for him, treats him like a human, and sees the bigger picture all throughout the story.

I highly recommend this one.
