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 Amazing, June 20, 1999

This review is from: Ocean City (Paperback)

I really enjoy Katherine Applegates books. This was one of the best of her books that I have read. Katherine has a way of entering you into the life of each character and you are able to feel the pain from each. I wish for anyone to please email me and give me their views.

You can't always get what you want...

Kate wanted to put bad love behind her.
Chelsea wanted to find real love.
Grace wanted to forget her haunted past.
And Justin just wanted to sail away from it all.

But sometimes you get what you need.

Ocean City - a bold new series about friends and strangers sharing a beach house for one intense, unforgettable summer.
