Breve biografia
Katherine Applegate is the author of The One and Only Ivan, winner of the 2013 Newbery Medal. Her novel Crenshaw spent over twenty weeks on the New York Times children's bestseller list, and her first middle-grade stand-alone novel, the award-winning Home of the Brave, continues to be included on state reading lists, summer reading lists, and class reading lists.

Katherine has written three picture books: The Buffalo Storm; The Remarkable True Story of Ivan, the Shopping Mall Gorilla (often used as a companion book to The One and Only Ivan for younger readers); and Sometimes You Fly (publishing in spring, 2018). For beginning readers, Katherine wrote Roscoe Riley Rules, a seven-book series.

With her husband, Michael Grant, Katherine co-wrote Animorphs, a long-running series that has sold over 35 million books worldwide.

Katherine lives in Marin County, California, with her family and assorted pets.

"The One and Only Ivan" is a touching and thought-provoking tale that will inspire readers to think about the treatment of animals and the importance of empathy and compassion.

Going back and reading the first book in the series after you have read the second and third was great. Everything that happens in this book just hits differently after you have read Bob and Ruby's perspectives and it makes it even better than the first time.
Looking forward to reading The One and Only Family when it is released May 7, 2024.

There's some recycling of other Applegate books in this sequel to The One and Only Ivan. The novel is told in an almost verse-like structure, sometimes with just a few short sentences on a titled page, as with Applegate's Home of the Brave. Bob, the narrator and central character, is very reminiscent of Endling in her Endling trilogy. As with Endling's bare repetition of common fantasy quest tropes, I found Bob's faux bravado and cynicism, and his frequent acts of altruism covered with "what kind of idiot am I for doing this", annoyingly cliched. But the story is saved at the halfway point when a hurricane literally tears everything apart. Though the events are seteups for a potential movie, this is when Applegate's skill at mixing action with emotions and deeper themes -- in this case human-animal relationships -- comes to the fore. Sharp edges to characters appear that were missing in the first half, both with someone very important to Bob, and Kimu, a captive wolf. Kimu appears briefly in only a few scenes but very effectively so.… (altro)

This book is told in the perspective of the wishing tree as he is being threatened to get cut down. The last thing he chooses to do is try his best to grant the girls wish, that she would make a friend. This book touches on discrimination and friendship. This book would be great for fourth grade to either have in the classroom library or for a daily read-out-loud and discussion time about hard topics.
