Il a ses amis : Stella, la vieille éléphante, Bob, le chien errant, et Julia, la fille du gardien. Il a la télé et, surtout, il a le dessin, car Ivan est un peu artiste. Autrefois, ses œuvres faisaient la joie des clients du centre commercial ; aujourd'hui, Ivan peint surtout pour le plaisir. Et pour ses amis. L'arrivée de Ruby, une petite éléphante innocente et fragile, va changer sa vie. Bouleversé par sa tristesse, Ivan se fait une promesse : grâce à lui, elle retrouvera sa joie de vivre et aura une vie meilleure. Dès lors, il n'aura de cesse de trouver une solution pour quitter ce lieu perdu... Une formidable leçon d'humanité dans ce roman illustré aux personnage si attachants.

    • A man I helped to settle here taught me a saying from Africa. I'll bet you would like it: A cow is God with a wet nose. Kek comes from Africa where he lived with his mother, father, and brother. But only he and his mother have survived. Now she's missing, and Kek has been sent to a new home. In America, he sees snow for the first time, and feels its sting. He wonders if the people in this new place will be like the winter—cold and unkind. But slowly he makes friends: a girl in foster care, an old woman with a rundown farm, and a sweet, sad cow that reminds Kek of home. As he waits for word of his mother's fate, Kek weathers the tough Minnesota winter by finding warmth in his new friendships, strength in his memories, and belief in his new country.

      The thrilling conclusion to the epic middle grade fantasy trilogy from Katherine Applegate, the New York Times bestselling and Newbery Award-winning author of The One and Only Ivan (now a major motion picture!), The One and Only Bob, Wishtree, and Crenshaw! In the beginning, Byx's original quest was to discover if there were more of her kind, or if she was destined to become an endling--the last dairne alive. She did indeed find more dairnes, and along the way she also created allies among other creatures in her world, including humans, felivets, raptidons, and wobbyks. But Byx and her new friends soon learned that it wasn't just dairnes in jeopardy of extinction, but that everyone was at risk. With the world in unprecedented danger, Byx must rally creatures of all kinds to lead a revolution. Katherine Applegate's Endling series has so far earned a collective five starred reviews, and each of the prior books has debuted on the New York Times bestseller list. She once again delivers an action-packed middle grade fantasy with a unique setting, enthralling characters, and gripping adventure that is perfect for fans of Rick Riordan, Brian Jacques, and Tui T. Sutherland.
