Review #338: The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate



My rating: 5 of 5 stars


“Human can surprise you sometimes. An unpredictable species, Homo sapiens”

----Katherine Applegate



Katherine Applegate, a multiple award-winning American author, has penned a deeply moving tale about an adult gorilla living inside a glass cage in a mall in America, in her book, The One and Only Ivan. Inspired from real-life events, the author pens a heart-breaking yet thoroughly entertaining story about a gorilla and his friends and his mission to find freedom, and mind it, this book is not only for the middle-grade children, but can be enjoyed irrespective of any age of the reader, from young to old.
