Hello friends!  This is my seventh review for the 48 Hour Book Challenge.  Hope you like it!  Omri’s friend Patrick gave him a toy Indian for his birthday.  He is not that happy-he was hoping for something better.  But something miraculous happens; the Indian comes alive!  Omri thinks that is the best thing in the world, but he soon learns it is a big responsibility since this Indian is a living breathing person and has his own life; he is not a toy any more.  In a struggle to keep the Indian a secret and Patrick not envious, Lynne Reid Banks comes in with a great start to the 5-book series.

My thoughts:

I really liked this book!  I thought the plot was great and the storyline was excellent.  I loved how the Indian came to life; it would be boring if he hadn’t.  The setting in England was played out very well, as was the struggle to keep Little Bear (the Indian) a secret.  The illustrations went very well with the text, even if there were few of them.  This book has been on my to-read list for years, sitting on my shelf but I FINALLY read it.  I am glad I did.  I can not wait to read more of the adventures of Omri and Little Bear.

Overall: 9 out of 10 XanderStars

Next will be Horten’s Miraculous Mechanisms by Lissa Evans.

Hope you enjoyed the 48 Hour Book Challenge as much as I did!
