Description: Omri receives an old medicine cabinet for his birthday, and discovers that plastic figurines come to life in it when it is locked with his mother's special key. The Indian in the Cupboard tells the story of Omri's efforts to help "his" little Indian, and his realization that responsibility often accompanies new privileges.
Thoughts: Henry and I listened to this book during the drive to Virginia over New Years, and we both enjoyed it a lot. I read it first in 3rd grade, I think, and had forgotten nearly all of the details. It's a great story: funny, touching, and captivating, with a good (but not overt) message at the end. It's a great book for an 8-11 year old.
