Ivan: A Gorilla's True Story by Katherine Applegate

The real-life inspiration for The One and Only Ivan. A gorilla captured as a baby, Ivan was brought to a Tacoma, Washington mall to attract shoppers. Gradually, public pressure built until a better way of life for Ivan was found at Zoo Atlanta. From the Congo to America, and from a local business attraction to a national symbol of animal welfare, Ivan the Shopping Mall Gorilla traveled an astonishing distance in miles and in impact. In a spare, powerful text and evocative illustrations, Newbery medalist Katherine Applegate and artist G. Brian Karas present the extraordinary real story of this special gorilla.

The bestselling Animorphs book, as well as the Remnants and Everworld series, Home of the Brave, and the Roscoe Riley Rules series, are all written by K.A.Applegate. She is a resident of Tiburon, California.
