![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() New characters such as Matron and Corporal Fickits were fun additions, but this serves as a good bridge to later books and little else. 'Return of the Indian' is nowhere near as well thought-out or sensitive as the first one. When Omri brings Little Bear back to life he learns first hand the brutality of war. After a year of keeping the cupboard locked, Omri decides to see Little Bear again. Deadly consequences are addressed head-on with several events, but the book ends on a hopeful note with new life and Omri and Patrick finally (maybe) learning caution.īanks is a good writer, but I think she gave in too easily to fan pressure to produce a sequel. The Return of the Indian is the second of the Indian in the Cupboard series. It comes off to me as a bit of a backpedal when Omri agrees to help Little Bear with a battle against the Algonquins. This book is more about Omri and Patrick continuing to learn about the awesome responsibility the cupboard's magic gives them. Omri has won a writing contest with a story called "The Plastic Indian", and when Patrick comes back to the city for a few days, they decide to bring Little Bear & co. Omri's family has moved to a bigger house in a rougher neighborhood, his friend Patrick has moved away, and he's taunted by skinheads every afternoon on the walk back from school. ![]() Picking up a year after the events of the first book, 'The Return of the Indian' lacks a lot of the power and insight of the 'The Indian in the Cupboard'. ![]()
