As his adventures with Little Bear continue, Omri travels from the French and Indian wars to the present, and then back to the Old West at the tum-of-the-century.

In this third book about Omri and his magic cupboard, Omri and his friend Patrick must risk grownups discovering their secret when they find themselves in need of a friend’s toy plastic doctors to save wounded people from the dangerous world of the Old West which the cupboard enables them to enter.
