The fifth title in this gripping series about Omri and his plastic North American Indian – Little Bull – who comes alive when Omri puts him in a cupboard.
Omri and his father travel back in time to find Little Bull and his people in deep trouble, torn between staying in the West and facing extinction or starting a long trek to a new life in Canada. Omri’s final parting with Little Bull is incredibly moving yet the book is also very funny.
We meet other favourite characters as well as some new ones and there are wonderful descriptive passages about Little Bull’s longhouse and the Iroquois lifestyle. Even though this seems like the end of the story, Lynne does have ideas for a sequel.

Lynne Reid Banks has three grown-up sons and lives in Dorset and London with her sculptor husband, Chaim Stephenson.
There was a brief, breath-held pause. Then he opened the door cautiously, and Omri shone the finger of light directly on to Little Bull. He was standing, arms slightly away from his sides, legs bent, as if he'd just landed from a jump.
Omri's dad has found Omri's greatest secret – the secret of the magic cupboard that turns plastic toy figures into real, live, little people from the past. Together they resolve to go back two hundred years to the time of Little, Omri's Indian friend, whose tribe is in dire trouble. But many obstacles lie in the way they expect…
When they arrive at the Little Bull's longhouse, the greatest and most terrifying adventure of all awaits them.
"'The Key to the Indian' is a swiftly-moving, tightly-plotted, exciting, funny tale, which will keep the reader firmly hooked and frantically turning the pages."
