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.

4.0 out of 5 stars The struggle continues..., May 25, 2002
This review is from: Breakdown (Remnants, 6) (Paperback)
The Remnants continue their struggle with a world created by Mother, the powerful computer who seems to have human qualities. The few people who have faced Mother have failed miserably, but the Remnants have one hope, Billy, the kid who stayed awake all 500 years of their journey. He is the only one who has been able to creat a bond with her. From Mother, through Billy, the Remnants learn much about the lonely negelected computer, including the fact that she was made by the powerful Shipwrights. Soon the Remnants figure out that Mother has the ability to recreate Earth too but the Remnants know she will ask something in return. Yago, against many people's wishes, makes a deal with Mother to let her delve into his mind and recreate Earth. In return Yago agrees to destroy the Children for Mother, otherwise know as the "Blue Meanies" A computer generated battle takes place as the projections of Civil War Soliders take on the Blue Meanies. Will the Remnants survive the battle they can't even control?

This wasn't one of the best Remnants books and thing definitely got weirder. Some things I felt were a little out of control weird. This book did have some pretty impressive revelations as we get to know the baby's true identity. We also meet 2 new Remnants who have been separated from the rest of the Remnants and held captive by the Children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Take my advise and read this fab book!!!!, May 6, 2002
By 
MRS LYNETTE CALDER (scotland United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Breakdown (Remnants, 6) (Paperback)
As you have probably guessed from the title of my review i like this book although it was somewhat confusing at the start. BUT, don't let that put you off reading the book. It seems that Yogo is getting more anxious to run the small group of Remnants that survived the Mayflowers journey through the depths of space. Tamara Hoyle and her freaky baby are beggining to scare the group. Billy just getts stranger as the book progresses. He seems to be able to tap into peoples minds and sense what their feeling. This may come in useful later on. It may even save their lives.In the book 2 more remnants appear.Mother makes a deal with Yago. He launches an attack on another alier race. Read the book to find out more. It may not be the most exciting of the books so far but it makes the next one look great in a way only K.A. Applegate can achieve. Its a shame that it will take a while for the next few to arrive on our shelves but until then we can keep our imaginations running like mad.
