Katherine Applegate's new book is Ivan: The Remarkable True Story of the Shopping Mall Gorilla, a picture book companion to The One and Only Ivan. It's the true story of a captive gorilla known as Ivan, the Shopping Mall Gorilla who lived alone in a tiny cage for twenty-seven years in a Washington State shopping mall before being moved to Zoo Atlanta after a public outcry. He was a beloved celebrity at the zoo, which houses the nation's largest collection of western lowland gorillas. Ivan was well-known for his paintings, which he "signed" with a thumbprint. Katherine's many other books include the Roscoe Riley Rules chapter book series, the picture book The Buffalo Storm, the award-winning novel Home of the Brave. She lives in California with her husband and two children.
