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 Test (Animorphs, No. 43) (Paperback)

In The Test (Animorphs No. 43), there is a return character. This time its Tobias' ex-torturer. Remember, from The Illusion (Animorphs, No. 33)?

Well, the human controller has captured Tobias- again -but now says that she is part of a Yeerk peace movement. To believe or not to believe, that is the question. And hurry up is the motivational line! For Tobias and the other animorphs are running out of time...

This short 135 page book made up for it by being really,really good--I think this this is the second best ANIMORPHS book since September, next to the legendary VISSER.This book,narrated by Tobias,involves joining sides with Tobias's old and hateful enemy,Taylor.And they also morph Taxxons,whic sounds yucky but is very,very cool! Buy this book NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of K.A.'s best, June 10, 2000

This review is from: The Test (Animorphs, No. 43) (Paperback)

This book is in my top 5 list of Animorphs, very near the top. I think K.A. really out did herself with this one. It kept me on the "edge of my seat" throughout the whole book. I still can't decide which book was more powerful, The Illusion (animorphs #33)or The Test. I wouldn't recommend this one for first-time Animorph readers (try #1), but for serious fans, this is a long-waited for treat that you can't pass up.
