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!***
