It was Omri´s birthday, and he was very unimpressed by the plastic toy his best friend
gave him. But when he puts it in his old cupboard, something unspeakable
happened. His little plastic toy came to life!
I first heard this story in year 4, when my form teacher would read us a chapter of this when we had time at the end of the day. I remember how excited we all got to listen to the magical story of a toy that came to life and all the adventures that this came with it. When I left school at the end of the year, I don´t think we´d quite finished the book. So obviously, years later, it still troubled me: what really happened to Omri and his Indian? You can imagine my happiness when I came across this book after lots of research. And my inner year 4 girl was so glad to find out what happened to everyone at the end.
I thought it was a great book, that practically any age can read. It was a very simple story that was really easy to understand, and had a great plot. Personally I think 13 was a bit too old to read this, but I remember LOVING it in year 4 (aged 8-9). It´s a very unique story.
