The 2013 Newbery Medal winner
The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate
Ivan’s transformative emergence from the “Ape at Exit 8” to “The One and Only Ivan, Mighty Silverback,” comes to life through the gorilla’s own distinct narrative voice, which is filled with wry humor, deep emotion and thought-provoking insights into the nature of friendship, hope and humanity.
The Newbery Medal is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. Susannah Richards of Eastern Connecticut State University was a member of the 2013 Newbery Medal Committee.
