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 Other (Animorphs, No. 40) (Paperback)

I think this is the best Animorph book yet, except for numbers 23 and 33, because Tobias rulez. This would be cool written from Tobias's view. But KA was wonderful, anyway!

Becky (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Other (Animorphs, No. 40) (Paperback)

The last few Animorph I think weren't up to K.A.'s excellent standards, so this one was very impressive! The plot was really interesting and Marco was great as usual! Definatly worth reading! I really liked this one, but I think that #41 is gonna be absolutely awesome!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellant adventure.., June 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Other (Animorphs, No. 40) (Paperback)

Fespite what some people say, (that K.A. Should cut with the Animorphs) I am an eighth grader and have been with the amimorphs since they wher published 4 years ago. in this story, Marco and the animorphs Discover that Ax isn't the only andalite on the planet. There are Two more! one is disabled and one trying to hide his slowly deteriorating state. This book Gives us an insite on andalite society and bigotry, and is one of my favorites. Will theh animorphs be able to help these two fading heros? or will the two andalites to anything within their power to be left to themselves? Are these new andalites be willing to kill for their privacy....?
