Bookroo's summary

Omri's life takes a thrilling turn when he finds the magic key that brings his tiny friend, Little Bear, to life. But Little Bear is wounded in a historical battle, and Omri must navigate between his world and the past to save him. As Omri faces the consequences of his actions, he must decide if he can rescue Little Bear and his village from destruction. Will Omri's courage be enough to overcome the nightmare that began as a simple game?

From the publisher

Omri can hardly contain his excitement when he wins first prize in a national writing contest. But he feels he must share the good news with Little Bear, his miniature Indian friend who inspired the winning entry. Omri isn’t prepared for what he finds when he ventures back into the cupboard that magically transforms the plastic toy into a real live Iroquois Indian. Desperate to help Little Bear, Omri must find a way to transport himself to the world of the Native Americans. In the process he learns a lot about these amazing people, as well as about himself.
