If you enjoyed Indain in a cupboard you will enjoy this and the others that were written to go along with the first one. An incredible new adventure Omri and Patrick are forced to share their secret with Patricks cousin Emma.

A tiny army has frightened away the "skinheads" who tried to rob Omri's house. The boys are left to explain to Omri's parents the tiny bullet holes and other damage. Complications multiply when Patrick is sent back to Boone's time, Omri's school principal tumbles into the secret, and Boone and his girlfriend are stuck in the present. For all the action, the pacing of this book is slowed down because of the several shifts in point of view and time. For example, as the tension builds over what to do about Little Bear's wounded comrades, the story switches to Patrick, who is coping with life in Boone's wild west. The cyclone from Boone's time is a too convenient deus ex machina that drives all thoughts of "little people" from the adults' minds and causes enough confusion and damage to let the boys cover their tracks and protect their friends from the past.

I have not read, my daughter has.

The NEW YORK TIMES called the award winning THE INDIAN IN THE CUPBOARD "the best novel of the year." The magic continues with it's sequel, an ABA AMERICAN BOOKSELLER Pick of the Lists. Omri discovered he could bring to life the miniature plastic Indian, the American cowboy, and his other toy figures. It is exciting and very entertaining. This is perfect for children or adults to read! You will love it!
