I also liked this book because you get to experience many emotions while you are reading. I liked the way Ivan kept his promise and was able to achieve this in an unusual way by drawing the picture that George and Julia found and later realised that he wanted Ruby to go to the zoo. The book taught me that if you make promises and try your very hardest to achieve them they can come true. I really like the storyline of this book because it was about friendship and kindness. He rips it up and hides it so Mack can’t sell it for money.
The picture is of Ruby at a zoo with the word HOME above it. Ivan is worried about Ruby staying there for the rest of her life so he comes up with a plan. Mack steals the drawings that Ivan creates and sells them for money. Ivan thinks he is an artist when he uses pieces of paper Julia gives him to draw on with crayons he gets from Mack. Ivan decides to protect Ruby from Mack who is hurting her with his training weapon when he is trying to teach her tricks so she can perform for tourists at the mall. A couple of days after Ruby arrives, Stella dies.
