The Indian in the Cupboard
by Lynne Reid Banks
This book was an okay read for me. Some of the parts are a bit dated now, like the stereotypes of Indigenous people speaking broken English, when they can speak English very well in reality (although I can understand if this was at a different time period when English was just being introduced to the continent as it takes time to wrap one's tongue around a new language) and I wasn't fond of the cowboy either. I found him a bit overbearing in his speech. That being said, this book can be enjoyed as long as you remember the time period this was written in; that being 1980, back when people though you could catch AIDS the was you caught the flu. I'd recommend having a conversation with you kids if you're going to read this with them, so they understand how dated the concepts are and how they aren't actually like that in real life.
