Staff Review: The One and Only Ivan

The One and Only Ivan
by Katherine Applegate
Review by Genna

An amazing book based off the real Ivan the silverback gorilla. Ivan lives in the “domain”, a soulless cage in a shopping centre where he can barely remember his jungle past life. When a new elephant, Ruby, joins them, Ivan promises to look after them. Can Ivan use his artistic talents to find a way out? A gorgeous tale told through short chapters covering friendship, loss, and determination. A must read!
