"How
Ivan confronts his harrowing past yet stays true to his nature
exemplifies everything youngsters need to know about courage. … Utterly
believable, this bittersweet story, complete with an author's note
identifying the real Ivan, will inspire a new generation of advocates."
- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"This book will break your heart—and
then, against all odds, mend it again. Such a gentle fantasy is rare;
such an evocation of our need to grow, to be free, to become our best
selves, is rarer still. In cheering for Ivan and his friends, we cheer
for our own humanity and our own possibilities. Read this."
- Gary D. Schmidt, National Book Award finalist, Okay for Now
"Kindness and its ability to change
lives shines through on every single page of this book. … Katherine
Applegate's beautiful, life-affirming story will soar directly from
Ivan's heart into your own."
- Kathi Appelt, Newbery Honor author of The Underneath
"A beautifully written, intelligent,
and brave book. You will never look at the relationship of humans and
animals in the same way again. Quite simply, this story is
life-changing."
- Patricia MacLachlan, Newbery Medalist for Sarah, Plain and Tall
