The Indian in the Cupboard
(Juvenile Book)

Omri's birthday present from his best friend, Patrick, isn't what he really wanted. He received other gifts that are much more exciting--a skateboard, a mysterious cupboard from his brother, and, from his mother, a very old key that fits the cupboard's lock. By the end of the day Omri has almost forgotten the three-inch-high Indian Patrick gave him. But just before going to bed, Omri decides to put the Indian in the cupboard. He shuts the door, locks it tight, and falls asleep. In the morning, he hears a strange sound--is it tapping?--coming from the cupboard. When he slowly turns the key and opens the door, there, crouched before him, is a sight Omri can hardly believe. The tiny warrior has come to life!
