The Key to the Indian by Lynne Reid Banks
4.0
A friend of mine recently said that after finishing a series, she wasn't ready to start another new book because it would be "rebound." We laughed but after finishing this series, I feel the same.
While not on par with the fourth book, this final tale was fantastic in its own right. It was clear early on though that the author was determined to end the tale once and for all. It made reading it bittersweet but it was well executed. She clearly did her research on the Mohawk tribe and managed to demonstrate multiple sides of a complicated historical issue. I am sad to say goodbye to Omri, Little Bear, and so on but I am glad that the author did close all loose ends. And the beauty of such tales in storybooks is that one can re-visit them again and again as needed. If you haven't read the whole series, I strongly recommend you do so. It's good for adults and children.
