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!

"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!

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.

Return of The Indian is awesome.I like it so much.My favorite part is when the corprol and his men open fire on the bulies.I like the part when Bright Stars has her baby.That is why I like Return of the Indian.

If you really liked "The Indian in the Cupboard" you will probably like this sequel. If you've never read the first book, this one may leave you a little lost, although Banks tries to introduce enough of a recap to bring you up to speed.

I'm not sure a sequel was necessary, (much less the third volume, "Secret of the Indian"). The sequels are well-written and perfectly fine, but have a real air of "here we go again" about them. Same characters, same situations, same story arc.

So, I would suggest that these volumes are for big-time fans or completists, more than for casual readers.

This is the sequel to "The Indian in the Cupboard". I bought this for my nephew because he loved the first book. This is a good sequel and as action packed as the first story.

Years ago, I read the first book in the series without realizing there were more to follow. This time, I read them all and was very glad to have done so.....have even purchased the series for grandchildren to enjoy. (I don't pass along books to the children without reading them first...have discovered many excellent reads in this way). The series is classic, and fast reading.

"The Return of the Indian" is a very good and probably better sequel to "Indian in the Cupboard".

I loved the intense suspense in this book and the creative storyline, but I think the author rushes certain parts that are some of the main points. The summary on the back gives too much away, so don't read it. The story is about a boy with a magical key. When he uses it on a cupboard he found in a street garbage can, the cupboard makes any plastic figure inside the cupboard alive as a mini figure of the real person in time. The people that come alive are really people in time. When something happens to Little Bear, Omri has to call even more figures like a nice nurse, a marine squad with tons of firepower , and a load of angry Iroquois Mohawks who want revenge on the English for burning their homes down. If you have read the first book you'll love the second one to this magical series!
