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
Omri's fingers were still round the key. And there they were. The pony was prancing and stamping his hooves . . . As Omri opened the door he saw Twin Stars sitting on him. But she no longer sat in front; before her, lying face-down across the pony's back, was a limp, motionless form. It was little Bull.
Omri can't resist bringing the small people back to life again. But when the cupboard door opens, Little Bull is slumped unconscious, over his horse, two bullet wounds in his back. As Omri tries to help him, he faces the terrifying responsibility of power – the power of life and death . . .
Full of seat-edge story-telling and spot-on characterisation that is everything a children's book should be.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. It's been over a year since Omri discovered in The Indian in the Cupboard that, with the turn of a key, he could magically bring to life the three-inch-high Indian figure he placed inside his cupboard. Omri and his Indian, Little Bear, create a fantastic world together until one day, Omri realizes the terrible consequences if Little Bear ever got trapped in his "giant" world. Reluctantly, Omri sends the Indian back through the cupboard, giving his mother the magic key to wear around her neck so that he will never be tempted to bring Little Bear back to life.But one year later, full of exciting news, Omri gives way to temptation when he finds that his mother has left the magic key lying on the bathroom sink.A whole new series of adventures awaits Omri as he discovers that his Indian has been critically wounded during the French and Indian Wars and desperately needs Omri's help.Now, helplessly caught between his own life and his cupboard life of war and death, Omri must act decisively if he is to save Little Bear and his village from being completely destroyed. What began as a harmless game has tumed into a horrible nightmare, a nightmare in which Omri is irrevocably involved, and from which he may never escape. A year after he sends his Indian friend, Little Bear, back into the magic cupboard, Omri decides to bring him back only to find that he is close to death and in need of help.
