Winner of the 2013 Newbery Medal and a New York Times bestseller, Katherine Applegate's The One and Only Ivan (HarperCollins) is a stirring and unforgettable novel celebrating the transformative power of unexpected friendship. Inspired by the true story of a captive gorilla known as Ivan, this illustrated novel is told from the point of view of Ivan himself. Having spent 27 years behind the glass walls of his enclosure in a shopping mall, Ivan has grown accustomed to humans watching him. He rarely misses his life in the jungle. In fact, he hardly ever thinks about it at all. Instead, Ivan occupies himself with television, his friends Stella and Bob, and painting. But when he meets Ruby, a baby elephant taken from the wild, he is forced to see their home, and his art, through new eyes. When Ruby arrives, change comes with her, and it's up to Ivan to make it a change for the better. In the tradition of timeless stories like Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little, Applegate blends humor with touching poignancy to create Ivan's unforgettable first-person narration and a story that resonates long after the last page is turned.
