Indian in the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks (2003, Paperback, Reissue)

The book was ordered,and kept delaying devivery dates, but unfortunately I never received the book, so I can't tell. tskg

This is one of my favorite children's books. I know the Indian speaks in a very sterotypical way, but there is accurate information about Native Americans of his time period. The story, however, focuses on the young boy Omri learning that the Indian is a real person, and caring for him is a serious responsibility. It is told with gentle humor and suspense.

It has been over a month since this purchase, I have yet to receive what I bought and I have not had any communication from the seller. DO NOT purchase from this seller. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!

This is the first book in a series of 5. A wonderful adventure filled book for children. AR reading level 4.6 for anyone involved in the Renaissance Learning reading program. Children earn 6 points for 100% on the AR test.
The story begins when a boy receives some very special presents for his birthday.
Open the book and let the adventure begin! I suggest you buy all 5 books, because you won't be able to wait for the next ones to come upon completing this one.
