Description

A New York Times bestseller from the beloved author of the action-packed Animorphs series and the award-winning The One and Only Ivan. In this first book of an epic middle grade series, Katherine Applegate takes us on an unforgettable journey.

Byx is the youngest member of her dairne pack. Believed to possess remarkable abilities, her mythical doglike species has been hunted to near extinction in the war-torn kingdom of Nedarra.

After her pack is hunted down and killed, Byx fears she may be the last of her species. The Endling. So Byx sets out to find safe haven, and to see if the legends of other hidden dairnes are true.

Along the way, she meets new allies—both animals and humans alike—who each have their own motivations for joining her quest. And although they begin as strangers, they become their own kind of family—one that will ultimately uncover a secret that may threaten every creature in their world.

Building on the success of her critically acclaimed novels The One and Only Ivan, Crenshaw, and Wishtree, while also returning to her action-packed fantasy roots of Animorphs, the Endling series is Katherine Applegate at her finest. With its enthralling characters, unique setting, and gripping adventure, this series is the perfect next read for fans of Rick Riordan, Brian Jacques, and Tui T. Sutherland.

Don't miss the second book in Katherine Applegate’s “simply sublime” (Kirkus) epic middle grade animal fantasy trilogy, Endling #2: The First, plus the concluding volume, Endling #3: The Only. Read all three!

Can the last of a species find hope in a world determined to forget her?

Okay I have a few things to say

Okay so 1 I am on book three right now and so good. I love the sense of realism in it. This is an amazing piece with and amazing author it is totally worth the cost and you guys have to read. Compliments to the author. There is one thing though, I am a high level reader and I love this book but some people my age might not understand even though it is such a good piece. I won’t take a star off that because it is meant for young adults but still I would have liked to share it with people my age. Otherwise it is an amazing book 5 stars so good. I hope the author reads this because I so appreciate such a good book. Also I would be so cool if you would write another sirise like this I can’t get enough. That pretty much wraps it up. If you do read this please make another sirise like this.

P.s. sorry for any typos

I loved this book. It was amazingly written and the character- and the reader- go on an emotional journey. Not much to say about this book but that it was amazing.
It’s awesome. Read the whole thing and never disappointed.

Super excited about this book! I wasn't actually looking for it, I was looking for some of the few Animorphs books I haven't read yet and came across this. It sounds awesome!
