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 This is one of the best Animorphs yet!, November 19, 1999

K A Applegate must have been in a very imaginative mood when she wrote this book, because she creates the most awesome world. It's like the island Atlantis, but it's the Nartec...It's so cool. You guys have to read this book. I didn't particularily like the last few Jake books, but KAA said she didn't either, so I won't hold it against her. For all you romantics, like me, this one is pretty good.

This kind of a freaky book, but VERY interesting. I couldn't put it down, literally! It has some funny things said to Ax by the water-beings and a very interesting plot. The book also deals with some more of Jake feelings about being leader and all the pressure put on him. Tobias, my fav character, comes to the rescue! Yay Tobias! :)

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Mutation (Animorphs #36) (Paperback)

In this book, the group turns into Orcas and search for the Sea Blade. When they finally catch up to it, they BABAAAAM into it!! They get injured so they have to keep on morphing and remorphing. Then the ship goes down, but they echolocation it and it's not sunken. I'll leave the rest for you to find out.

I am 9 years old and this is a GREAT book!!! I REALLY think you should buy it.
