The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate

 

7/10

I read this about a month ago when my kids brought it home as part of a reading challenge from their elementary school. We read about 20 pages or so every night and finished the book in a couple weeks. It was a good book and a quick read based on the short chapters and spaced out writing on each page. Ivan is easy to root for and the other animals complement the story nicely. Not too much overall drama other than the slow realization of the poor living conditions Ivan and the others have been in most of their lives without them completely realizing it. It was a fun story for the kids.
