The Mystery of the Cupboard

Lynne Reid Banks
(HarperCollinsChildren'sBooks)
978-0006746409, RRP £4.50, Paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle
Buy "The Mystery of the Cupboard" on Amazon

This is number four in the 'Indian' series and explains, through an absolutely enthralling mystery, how the magic of the cupboard came about in the first place. Omri's move to a country cottage, formerly owned by a distant great-great-aunt leads to the discovery of a hidden cashbox and from there on Ms RB devises a plot that thickens and complicates in a most satisfying and imaginative way. I'm sure many youngsters will feel compelled to read it, as I did, in a single sitting.
