    About this audiobook

    Endling #2: The First is the second book in an epic middle grade animal fantasy series by Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling 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 #3: The Only. Read all three!

      Jottings For Wildfowlers

      Wildfowlers are philosophers at heart. We know that fowling, like life, is a complicated equation. The sum is a tricky combination of weather plus tide multiplied by marksmanship over dog-handling and fieldcraft. Add a hefty dose of luck. Quite often

      I hung my chest waders to dry over a roof joist in the shed. They had dangled there, like a headless corpse, for four weeks. The business of hedge laying had got in the way of my wildfowling for far too long. My abstemiousness ended when I accepted a

      Even though this book is with ‘young reader’ books, the characters are well formed and the story is quite compelling. She doesn’t shy away from showing the complexities of what it means to fight back when attacked - because by surviving, others may be hurt or killed. Though, since it is aimed at younger readers, death and wounds are not described in any great detail. After reading books 1 and 2 I would say this series seems to be around the reading level of the first few Harry Potter books. Maybe one level below. But, I still think it’s a worthwhile read for adults who love fantasy novels. And, if you loved Animorphs as a kid, I think you’d love this completely new world of Applegate’s.
