In this poignant middle grade contemporary debut, New York Times bestselling author Katherine Applegate weaves a tale that explores the depths of tenderness and uncertainty that accompany caring for family, friends, and the natural world.
Peter and his best friend, Tommy, set a remarkable goal for their last summer before middle school: complete their Discovery Journal, a comprehensive catalog of the wildlife surrounding their Florida town. Their excitement soared when they stumbled upon a manatee in a canal, recognizing it as a precious find. However, their joy turned to concern when the manatee was injured by a boat, prompting Peter to step up and become a guardian of this magnificent creature.
As Peter delves deeper into the fight to save Florida manatees, he simultaneously grapples with the challenges of caring for his ailing grandfather and navigating an unwelcome surprise that threatens his friendship with Tommy. The once-confident Peter finds himself adrift, navigating shifting tides and realizing that he has as much to discover about himself as he does about the world around him.
Through his journey, Peter learns the true meaning of resilience, compassion, and the interconnectedness of all living beings. The novel beautifully captures the complexities of growing up, the importance of standing up for what is right, and the transformative power of empathy.
In conclusion, "The One and Only Ivan" is a must-read for middle grade readers and anyone who appreciates a heartfelt and captivating story. Katherine Applegate's poignant portrayal of the human-animal bond and the challenges of caring for both the natural world and the people we love will leave a lasting impression on readers of all ages.
