The Indian in the Cupboard
Full of magic and appealing characters, The Indian in the Cupboard takes readers on a remarkable adventure.
It’s Omri’s birthday, but all he gets from his best friend, Patrick, is a little plastic Indian toy. Trying to hide his disappointment, Omri puts the Indian in a metal cupboard and locks the door with a mysterious skeleton key that once belonged to his great-grandmother.
Little does Omri know that by turning the key, he will transform his ordinary plastic Indian into a real live man from an altogether different time and place!
Omri and the tiny warrior called Little Bear could hardly be more different. Yet soon, the two forge a very special friendship. Will Omri be able to keep Little Bear without anyone finding out and taking his precious Indian from him?
