"This was strange, not having the Indians in it as such! For me, the magic started to fade after I started book 3 - The Indian In The Cupboard is a timeless classic from my childhood, and I'm slightly disappointed in myself for reading the rest of the series and being let down!

There are several books in this series and I found this one to be the most mature, from the standpoint of some of the subjects that are touched upon. Overall the story has a darker tone than the others in this series. One particular scene was particualrly horrific, but was realistically portrayed and fit perfectly with the story.
This is an entertaining book for both younger readers and adults."
