Title: The One and Only Ivan
Author: Katherine Applegate
This book takes place in a circus at the Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade. The story is about a gorilla, an elephant and a dog in the circus. They miss their freedom and wish for more.
The main characters are Ivan (gorilla), Bob (stray dog) and Stella and Ruby (Elephants)
After Stella dies from overwork, Ivan decides he can’t let the same happen to Ruby. Don’t worry, it has a happy ending! I recommend this book because it shows how smart animals can be.
There is a movie about this book coming out this summer!
