Endling #3: The Only

Ages 8 to 12, Grades 3 to 7

Powerhouse author Katherine Applegate concludes her bestselling and award-winning “simply sublime” (Kirkus Reviews) animal fantasy trilogy, now in paperback.

“Time, my fellow pathfinder,” she said, “to stop a war and save the world.”In the beginning, Byx’s original quest was to discover if there were more of her kind or if she was destined to become an endling—the last dairne alive. She did indeed find more dairnes, and along the way she also created allies among other creatures in her world, including humans, felivets, raptidons, and wobbyks.But Byx and her new friends soon learned that it wasn’t just dairnes in jeopardy of extinction, but that everyone was at risk. In this third and final book in the bestselling Endling series, Byx’s story will come to an epic conclusion as she helps rally creatures of all kinds to lead a revolution.
