More About the Author

Katherine Applegate's many books include the Roscoe Riley Rules chapter book series, the picture book The Buffalo Storm, and the award-winning novel Home of the Brave. With her husband, Michael Grant, she wrote the hugely popular series Animorphs, which has sold more than 35 million copies worldwide.

Katherine was inspired to write The One and Only Ivan after reading about the true story of a captive gorilla known as Ivan, the Shopping Mall Gorilla. The real Ivan lived alone in a tiny cage for twenty-seven years at a shopping mall before being moved to Zoo Atlanta after a public outcry. He is now a beloved celebrity at the zoo, which houses the nation's largest collection of western lowland gorillas. Ivan is well known for his paintings, which he "signs" with a thumb-print.

Katherine lives in California with her husband and two children.

5.0 out of 5 stars We can't morph anymore, November 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Animorphs Megamorphs #01: The Andalite's Gift (Paperback)

School's out for the animorphs. But that does not mean that the evil yeerks are going to stop controlling people's minds or chasing the kids (or andalites) with the abilities to change into any animal they touch. But Rachel has gone to a gymnastics camp she signed up for before getting into the whole mess. She decides to fly a little before going away. She is attacked by sparrows or something and crashes into a tree. When she wakes up she has lost her memory and guesses she is some freak of nature. The other animorphs have a little problem of their own. Each time they morph a dangerous Yeerk creature comes to capture them. What good is morphing if you can't do it without a monster sensing it? And will Rachel regain her memory? I like this book because it's a unique blend of many first-person narratives.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Animorphs Megamorphs #01: The Andalite's Gift (Paperback)

This book was full of action, emotion, adventure, and curiosity for the reader. Like when Rachel loses here memory, or when the Animorphs decide what to do about the Veelik. And is seems impossible to destroy the Veelik.This is a great book. Animorph fans, This is a MUST!
