Well a lot has certainly happened in this book since my last posting. Peter has really tried his friendship with Omri by doing pretty much everything Omri has asked him not to do concerning the cupboard, the key and one plastic cowboy on a horse.
Omri showed Peter his live Indian, Little Bear so Peter decided he wanted one too and put the plastic cowboy he had gotten for Omri in the cupboard. Well since cowboys and Indians were often enemies I'm sure you can guess what happened when the two discovered each other. (It makes for a very funny mental image when you read this part in the book)
That was the first of several bad choices made by Peter. He also took his cowboy to school which caused a ruckus and then Little Bear wanted to be taken to school too which caused even more trouble and then when the boys were sent to the Headmaster's office (they're in England) for talking in class, Peter showed the Headmaster the miniature people which again, made Omri really upset. However, Omri has matured a lot since the beginning of the book and he realizes that despite Peter's frustrating choices he is still Omri's best friend and has been since they were really little and that their friendship has too strong of a bond to allow Peter's reaction to the situation to ruin their friendship. So, when I left off, they seemed to have come to an unspoken understanding that Boone and Little Bear were better off with Omri and that Omei and Peter would remain friends.
In the next chapter they are going to put an Indian woman in the cupboard so that Little Bear can have a wife (per his request). I'm curious to see how this will go over and if Boone will decide that he needs a wife too. I'm also beginning to wonder if this is going to become too much for Omri.
