Possible Answers
1. The climax of a story is the point when the
problem is solved or there is a major turning point. Can you find
the climax to this story?
Possible Answer: The climax of the story occurs when Omri makes the
decision to send the little people back to their times.
2. Did you like the way Omri solved his
problems? What are other ways he could have solved them?
Possible Answer: I think that if Omri would have told his
parents about what happened he might not have had as many
problems. His parents would have been able to help him solve many
of the problems he found himself in.
3. Why was it important to Omri that he return
the little people to their times? Explain why.
Possible Answer: I think it was very important to send them
back. I do not think they belonged living in 2001. Too many
things have changed and they would not have been able to adjust to these
changes.
4. Which do you think had the magic, the
cupboard or the key? Choose one and give reasons for your answer.
Possible Answer: I think the key was magic. The reasons I

someone very special. I also believe this to be true because he
always turned the key after he closed the door.
