"The Return of the Indian" is the sequel to Banks' book "The Indian in the Cupboard". It continues from the first book a year from when the first one ends. For those of you that are not familiar with the series, in the first book the main character Omri, finds a magical cupboard that brings plastic toys to life. He brings to life an Indian Chief named Little Bear and the book follows the adventures of the two for the duration of the book.
In this installment of the series Omri decides to bring Little Bear back to life after not using the magic of the cupboard for a whole year. Many things can change in the course of the year not only in Omri's life but in the life that the Indian comes from as well. During the time that the plastic figures are turned back to plastic, they go back the time period in which they come from and have their own lives in that period.
Adventure is the theme of this book as many conflicts arise throughout the book not only in the lives of the plastic figurines but also in the lives of the "giants" that bring them to life in the modern times. The series continues after this book, and I am excited to see where the story turns next.
