Now a major motion picture available on Disney+! Inspired by a true story, this is the beautifully written tale of how a mighty gorilla wins his freedom. A winning blend of humour and poignancy that will appeal to fans of Michael Morpurgo. This #1 New York Times bestselling and Newbery Award-winning novel is coming to the big screen this summer, with a star-studded cast including Sam Rockwell, Angelina Jolie, Danny DeVito, Helen Mirren, Bryan Cranston, and more! Ivan is an easy-going gorilla who has spent his life performing for the crowds at the Exit 8 shopping mall. He rarely misses life in the jungle. In fact, he hardly thinks about it at all. But everything changes when a baby elephant called Ruby arrives and Ivan realises he must find a new life for them both. Told from Ivan’s perspective, this is a stand-out novel with a pertinent message, ideal for readers of 9+. The book, while being a delightful children's fiction, also subtly introduces kids to the world of animals, their emotions, and the importance of their natural environment. The story of Ivan and Ruby is a heartwarming tale that will surely resonate with young readers. For fans of Kate Dicamillo (The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane), Sharon M. Draper (Out of My Heart), Jonathan Auxier (Belly of the Beast), Chris Grabenstein (Max Einstein), and Tara Dairman (Desert Girl, Monsoon Boy).
