About the book

This is the 2nd book in the series by Lynne Reid Banks. It follows the first book The Indian in the Cupboard. In this book Omri has moved to a new town and away from his best friend Patrick. Omri decides to use his past experiences from the first book to write a short story which he enters into a competition. All of this causes him to reminisce about the past and he starts to get the urge to bring back his old friend Little Bear. Patrick on the other hand has convinced himself that it was all make believe and that none of it ever actually happened. Omri finally decides to bring back Little Bear to tell him all about his successful short story, but things are not the way he expected them to be. This begins a new adventure in the series which brings old friends back together to tackle new issues that have come up.
