Finally, the book looks at friendship–both of the imaginary and real kind–and how important they are. Jackson had such anxiety and pressure on him because he felt like he had to be a grown up (specifically for his sister). Second, this book looks at how much children sometimes have to deal with because of their home situation. There is an extended scene from Jackson’s past that made me want to jump into the book to give him a hug and help his family in anyway I could. It can affect anyone and can come from no where. First, this book shows the speed and brutality of homelessness. This book made me think about so many things. Like Ivan made you think about animal’s imprisonment, Crenshaw makes you think about homelessness however, it is more than that. The only similarity is that they are both beautifully written and put a very special issue in the spotlight. My Review: It is not fair to compare this book to The One and Only Ivan.

He has come back into Jackson’s life to help him. He’s large, he’s outspoken, and he’s imaginary. His parents, his little sister, and their dog may have to live in their minivan. Jackson and his family have fallen on hard times. Goodreads Summary: In her first novel since winning the Newbery Medal, Katherine Applegate delivers an unforgettable and magical story about family, friendship, and resilience.
