The Indian in the Cupboard

Rating:
Summary: One of the greatest books ever .
Review: The book The Indian In The cupboard, By Lynne Reid Banks was rated "The Best Novel Of The Year". This is one of the most inspiring and adventurous books I have ever read. I read this book two times. The Indian In The Cupboard was printed in the U.S.A. This book is a magical fiction genre all-in-one. This book is about a boy that gets a cupboard and a key and a plastic Indian for his birthday. This nine year old boy is Omri. As the book gets more intense the reader finds out that he's involved in a magical adventure when the Indian comes to life. The author is Lynne Reid Banks. She was born in the year 1929, and was also the daughter of a Scottish doctor and an Irish actress. I recommend this book to everybody, including adults. To summarize the book, a plastic Indian comes to life by a key, a cupboard and an Indian that's named Little Bear and at the the end the Indian ??????. You will have to read the book. I like the way the author would finish one page and at the end of it she would leave a half interesting sentence continuing on the next page.

Summary: Great Children's Book
Review: This book has got to be the greatest children's book I have ever read. When I was a young boy we read this book in third grade, I loved it so much that I took it out of the library and read ahead of the rest of the class. I also bought and read both of the sequals, and cried at the end of Secret of the Indian because I knew it was the last one. I recomend these books to anyone, even children who lack imagination because this will bring it out of them. When I read the series I wanted to be Omri, the main character, so bad that I used to pretend my GI JOE figures were alive because I didn't have any little indian characters. This book captures a childs imagination and enhances it. Read it with your kids, it might capture yours too. I'm now a sophomore in college and I still consider it one of the best books I've ever read because it got me interested in reading. It will do the same for your children too.

Summary: My all-time favorite, required reading for kids
Review: At 19 years old and a sophmore in college, I'd still have to say that this is my favorite childhood book. I read it at least once a year , and continue to enjoy how Banks treats childrens feelings,lives and decisions with respect and dignity. On the surface a magical story, but read more deeply, an inspiring and accurate account of an episode I'm sure most everyone can remember- the day you realized you were growing up. You gotta try this book!

Review: I have read the book about five times and I just love it. The movie is nothing like the book and the book is much better.

Summary: Excellent bedtime book
Review: I read this to my 4&7 year olds and they loved it. Last book drags a bit more than the others as it takes over half the book to start the magic whereas first book was in chapter one. Still a very excellent series.
