Adiel and GillonĪdiel and Gillon are Omri's brothers. He is friendly and believes himself to be in a strange dream. The boys animate a doctor figurine in order to obtain iron pills for Boone and ask for his expertise in stitching a wound.

Boone is a cowboy who Lynne Reid Banks uses to demonstrate the historical consciousness which guides the book. Booneīoone comes to life in the same way as Little Bear Patrick wants a figure to carry around with him, so he coerces Omri into using the cupboard again. Little Bear is the Native American who is the "Indian in the cupboard." He lives the life - as a miniature - that he did on the plains. He and Omri experience relational tension due to the supernatural consequences of the events which transpire after this gift, but they resolve this conflict once they realize their status as a team. Patrick is a lifelong friend of Omri's who gives him the figurine in the beginning.

Omri is the protagonist of the novel, and most of the action takes place at his home. We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own. These notes were contributed by members of the GradeSaver community.
