I just finished reading The One And Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate. This is a fictional story that was inspired by a real life Gorilla. The book starts with a quote by George Eliot, “It is never too late to be what you might have been.” And I knew right away that I was going to enjoy this book.
This is a beautiful written story
written from Ivan’s point of view. You get a very clear idea of what Ivan, his
friends and their lives are like.
