The One and Only Bob

by: Katherine Applegate

After being separated at birth, Bob is determined to find his long-lost sister. He has a roof over his head but she doesn't. He is on a mission to find her, and is so determined, that even the worst didn't stop him. Will it pay off for all his efforts?

My Thoughts

This book is one of the best books I have ever read. I’m not kidding. Though this at some parts was a bit sad, it was mostly happy and cheerful. I am a dog lover, so I loved Bob’s narration and doggie terms! Also, compared to the first book, “The One and Only Ivan” this was better in some ways as Ruby and Ivan found a good home and Bob was loved by his owners. The only bad thing about “The One and Only Ivan” was that someone died. The One and Only Bob was interesting and I loved how determined he was to find his long-lost sister. This book was not too sad so I could read it whenever and it would not be too heavy for the night. (My definition of "heavy": sad, scary, gloomy) It is a book that was published in 2020, so I'm not sure if you could find it in public libraries yet. But still look!
