The One and Only Ivan follows a captive gorilla named Ivan who has spent twenty-seven years in a glass enclosure. He is long past the time when he though of his time in the jungle. Now, he passes the time by watching television, hanging out with his friends Stella and Bob, and painting. However, a new arrival to the enclosure, a baby elephant named Ruby who was taken from the wild, Ivan is forced to see their home through new eyes. Applegate’s award winning novel highlights the transformative power of unexpected friendship.
Another well known book by Katherine Applegate is Crenshaw. The story follows Jackson and his family has fallen on hard times. They have no money for rent and barely enough for food. He lives in his parent’s minivan with his little sister and their dog. This isn’t the first time they’ve lived in the van, but it may be permanent this time around. Crenshaw is a cat, a very large, imaginary cat, who seeks his mind. He has come to Jackson at this time in order to help him. However, is an imaginary friend enough to save this family from losing everything?
