The One and Only Bob by Katherine Applegate is a children’s fiction novel and a sequel to The One and Only Ivan. This paperback edition returns to the world of Ivan, Ruby, and Bob, with Bob the dog taking centre stage in a story about bravery, loyalty, and finding family.

Bob sets out on a dangerous journey to search for his long-lost sister, helped by his friends Ivan and Ruby. As a hurricane approaches and time begins to run out, Bob has to face fear, uncertainty, and memories from his past.

The story blends animal adventure, friendship, humour, and emotional warmth in a way that suits young readers who enjoy character-led fiction. It is a strong choice for children who liked The One and Only Ivan and want to continue the story through Bob’s voice.
