Publisher's Summary

Endling, Book 2: The First is the second audiobook in an epic middle-grade animal fantasy series by Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal-winning and number one New York Times best-selling author of The One and Only Ivan, Wishtree, and Crenshaw!

Perfect for fans of Rick Riordan, Brian Jacques, and Tui T. Sutherland.

To learn if she truly is the last dairne in the world - the endling - Byx and her friends must travel into the snow-covered mountains of the country of Dreyland, where they hope to uncover the truth behind the legend of a hidden dairne colony. But the threat of war across the lands continues to grow with each passing day.

As the group confronts untold dangers at every turn, they will ultimately uncover a treacherous plot that involves the other powerful governing species. With both her dreams and all the creatures of Nedarra on the brink of extinction, Byx and her friends are determined to never give up hope.

Soon, they find themselves the unlikely leaders in a simmering rebellion that risks everything they hold dear. Byx may be the last of her kind, but will she also be the first to lead the revolution?

Beloved author Katherine Applegate concludes her “simply sublime” (Kirkus) epic middle-grade animal fantasy trilogy with Endling, Book 3: The Only. Check out all three!

I was there.

This books of one of the many where ones that I could say had a very unique feel to it. It simply, took me to another world, another world that had different species and personalities. I really felt as if I were truly there, as if I had a say in the decision making that was happening. Truly unique and wonderful.There is no other feeling like it.
