A review by finalefile
The Indian in the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks

3.0

This book has an interesting premise and plot. I don't feel qualified to speak on the racial issues, aside from saying that the plot comes across as a white child "owning" a Native American adult, which does not feel good at all. My main issue with this book is that most of the characters are so mean and violent! The Indian almost killing the cowboy, the kids repeatedly threatening to "bash" one another...I didn't find anyone to be very likeable.
