Synopsis

This is the key to the three former books in the series: "The Indian in the Cupboard", "The Return of the Indian" and "The Secret of the Indian". Omri finds a cashbox and a journal which provide the answer to his questions as to how the toy figures became real, and who was able to make them do so.

About this title

Review:

Praise for The Indian in the Cupboard

‘An assured piece of story-telling, well able to stand comparison with older classics.”
Times Educational Supplement

“Enthralling and hair-raising reading.” TLS

“The Key to the Indian is a swiftly-moving, tightly-plotted, exciting, funny tale, which will keep the reader firmly hooked and frantically turning the pages.” Carousel

Praise for The Secret of the Indian

“There have been many famous stories in which children’s toys come alive: this book is in the same great tradition.” School Library Association

From the Back Cover:

'Omri turned the page, cautiously, as if afraid of what he would find there. And he gasped with surprise...Someone else had taken over the writing! Was he never going to find out now the secret of the cupboard?'

After Omri reads his great-great-aunt's Account, he longs to try the key again. And when his friend Patrick comes to stay, nothing can stop him... Will there be more little figures that come to life?

"Eight-year-olds upwards are captivated by these stories."
