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 Revelation (Animorphs, No. 45) (Paperback)

This book starts up a ten-book story arc that could see the end of the war against the Yeerks and the salvation of the Earth. But... that's not happening just yet. Instead, we see quite a bit in the way of changes in this book. Marco's dad is an engineer and his company is working on developing Z-space technology. The Yeerks decide that Marco's dad will have to be infested, and Marco can't bear the thought of losing another parent. So he breaks all the rules he sets for himself and tells his dad about everything. The invasion of Earth. How Marco got involved in the war. Everything. Now Marco and his dad have been targeted for temination by the Yeerks. They fake their deaths and go into hiding. But the development by humans of Z-space technology may offer a chance for the Animorphs to contact the Andalite home world and ask for help. But first, they decide on a risky mission to free Marco's mother from the grasp of the dying Visser One. The Animorphs books are back on track with this new story arc, which starts out with a blast.

Well, Marco finally gets to tell his Dad about the animorphs! His stepmom is taken by the yeerks, and now Marco must fight to keep his Dad from the Yeerks too! This is a very exciting book, showing finally how an animorphs parent will react to the truth! I can't say much more without spoiling the book, but I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most exciting and original Animorphs books yet!, August 24, 2000

The minute I began The Revelation, I was swept up into the story. A number have been saying that the books are going nowhere. If you're one of them, I urge you to read this latest edition to the bestseller children's series. I couldn't believe how many changes there were. And the last of K. A. Applegate's Animorph books, are going to blow us away.

Marco and his friends live a weird life. Battling aliens to stop them from enslaving the human race, and all the time trying to live 'normal' lives. However, things are changing. The Yeerks have stepped up their operations.

Also, Marco's dad who's an engineer, has begun talking about Zero-space. His company is working on it, and the Yeerks have decided to have him infested. Marco is not going to let the Yeerks win this battle. He's already lost his mother to them, and he's prepared to do anything to stop them. Anything, including tell his father everything about the Yeerks and the Animorphs.
