About this listen

In this first book of an epic middle grade series, Katherine Applegate takes us on an unforgettable journey.

A New York Times bestseller from the beloved author of the action-packed Animorphs series and the award-winning The One and Only Ivan.

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 audiobook 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!

Excellent

My daughters (ages 9 and 11) and I all loved this audiobook. Engaging and suspenseful. Perfect for long car rides or downtime at home. We can’t wait to listen to the next book in this series.

A Plethora of Action

What an amazing journey... full of suspense and action. I listened to this on audible. When I read the book, "The One And Only Ivan," I thought about how Applegate captures the world Ivan lived in, and how touching the story was. After hearing that another book came out by Katherine Applegate, I knew I'd love "The Last: The Endling" I'm looking forward to reading the other books in the series.

Would recommend!

Seemed lame at first, but I decided to give it a try so I downloaded it and was not disappointed. The character development is good but other than the fire knight the villains lacked a sense of threat, I feel like there should have been more violence or something to make us fear them- but this is probably a kids book so I get it. Would recommend!!

Endling the last: the best :-)

wonderful book, written well. we already gad a paper copy and learned we loved her writing from reading the one and only Ivan.
So I got this and we listened to it while in the car. took a while only because we mainly listened on the way to and from school. it brought my 3 sons 10, 10 & 8 together. gave us something in common that also gave us conversation and discussions leading to very interesting times. I highly suggest this book and can not wait to read/listen to the next 2 in the series
