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.

This review is from: The Discovery (Animorphs, 20) (Turtleback)

I loved this book it was great. My favorite part was when they found David. David was new at school and the animorhs saw that he had the Morphing cube .David has no idea what it can do or what it is .The animorphs must get the box at any cost.But what should they do should they make him the sixth animorph or turn him over to the Yeerks.Any way if you haven't read it you should. youre number 1 fan Matthew Viney.

4.0 out of 5 stars Introducing David, March 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Discovery (Animorphs) (Library Binding)

This book, Animorphs #20, is one of the better Animorph books. This is due in part to the plot elements, and the rest to K.A.A's (and ghostwriters') usual excellent writing style. This is the first in a separate "subseries": a trilogy within the normal Animorphs series. Marco, the narrator, discovers that a kid at school, David, has discovered the blue morphing cube which gave the Animorphs their powers. Now, the Animorphs must get it back before the Yeerks fimd out! The suspense is high in this book; if you are going to buy it, make sure you will be able to read the next two soon after.
