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.

What could be better than a magic cupboard that turns small toys into living creatures? Omri's big brother has no birthday present for him, so he gives Omri an old medicine cabinet he's found. Although their mother supplies a key, the cabinet still doesn't seem like much of a present. But when an exhausted Omri dumps a plastic toy Indian into the cabinet just before falling asleep, the magic begins. Turn the key once and the toy comes alive; turn it a second time and it's an action figure again. The Indian in the Cupboard is one of those rare books that is equally appealing to children and adults. The story of Omri and the Indian, Little Bear, is replete with subtle reminders of the responsibilities that accompany friendship and love. For kids, it's a great yarn; for most parents, it's also a reminder that Omri's wrenching decision to send his toy back to its own world is not so different from the recognition of their children's emerging independence.

Dakin sets off on a tantalizing journey that will change her life, and the lives of others, forever.

Tiy, reine d'Egypte, se rendait au bord du Nil pour se baigner quand elle trouva l'enfant dans une corbeille. Elle l'adopta, l'appela Moïse, ce qui signifie : "Sauvé des eaux", et l'éleva comme son propre fils. Il échappait ainsi au décret royal qui vouait à la mort tout enfant mâle hébreu. Sauvé! Mais pourquoi? Moïse l'apprend plus tard lorsque, découvrant la vérité sur ses origines, il fuit dans le désert. Dieu lui apparaît alors : "Tu iras trouver Pharaon, et tu lui diras : laisse partir mon peuple." Que peut faire un homme seul contre le puissant Pharaon? Et comment un prince d'Egypte pourrait-il inspirer suffisamment confiance aux Hébreux et les libérer de leur esclavage. Inspiré du Livre de l'Exode et du film "Le Prince d'Egypte", ce roman retrace l'épopée du peuple hébreu en captivité et de son guide spirituel, Moïse. [4e de couv.]

Just seventy-five years ago, the American government did something that most would consider unthinkable today: it rounded up over 100,000 of its own citizens based on nothing more than their ancestry and, suspicious of their loyalty, kept them in concentration camps for the better part of four years. How could this have happened? Uprooted takes a close look at the history of racism in America and follows the treacherous path that led one of our nation's most beloved presidents to make this decision. Meanwhile, it illuminates the history of Japan and its own struggles with racism and xenophobia, which led to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, ultimately tying the two countries together.
