5.0 out of 5 stars Completely Captivating Book, March 23, 2009

This review is from: The Return of the Indian (Paperback)

From the first page to the last, I was enthralled in this book! I remember reading the prequel "The Indian in the Cupboard" and thinking that it was a nice enough story, but it didn't leave a big impression on me. On the other hand, reading "The Return of the Indian" took Omri's amazing story to a completely different level.

There's so much adventure and excitement packed into this one book. I almost couldn't stand the suspense in certain parts!

It's the Perfect read for anyone who likes a bit of thrilling action!

4.0 out of 5 stars Return of the Indian by Lynne Reid Banks, February 14, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Return of the Indian (Paperback)

"The Return of the Indian" is a very good book, and probably a better one than "The Indian in the Cupboard". The story is about a boy(Omri) who finds a locked cupboard in a garbage can in the streets of London. When his mother gives him a key that fits no lock in his house, he tries the key on the cupboard it opens! And the story goes farther when he puts a plastic Indian he got from his friend Patric, in the cupboard, and it comes to life!! That was the "Indian in the Cupboard". In the "Return of the Indian", Omri brings back his Indian(Little Bear) and a cowboy, theres even more fun. But when something Happens to Little Bear, Omri must bring even more plastic figures to life, like a very patient and kind nurse, A marine squad with a howitzer and blazing machine guns, and a load of Iroquois tomahawks that want revenge on the English for burning their homes. I loved the action and suspense in this book. I liked the creative storyline, but I think the Author rushes a certain part of the book. If you have read the fist book in this magical series, you'll love the second!

5.0 out of 5 stars I don't think it was as good as Indian in the Cupboard, September 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Return of the Indian (The Indian in the Cupboard) (Hardcover)

I liked it when Omri went to Little Bear's world. Omri was the tepee and got set on fire. He went back to his world and his hair was burned off.
