Publisher's summary

The thrilling conclusion to the epic middle-grade fantasy trilogy from Katherine Applegate, the New York Times best-selling and Newbery Award-winning author of The One and Only Ivan (now a major motion picture!), The One and Only Bob, Wishtree, and Crenshaw!

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. With the world in unprecedented danger, Byx must rally creatures of all kinds to lead a revolution.

Katherine Applegate’s Endling series has so far earned a collective five starred reviews, and each of the prior books has debuted on the New York Times best seller list. She once again delivers an action-packed middle-grade fantasy with a unique setting, enthralling characters, and gripping adventure that is perfect for fans of Rick Riordan, Brian Jacques, and Tui T. Sutherland.

Best of the three

I reed the firs two in 4th grade book Club and it is now summer and I loved Lisa Flannigan’s narration of the book {it may be better than Jim Dale’s narration of Harry Potter}

Well done

Excellent conclusion to this trilogy. Thoroughly enjoyable. Even though it was written to a younger audience, it works for a much broader audience.

My opinion on Ending: The Only (Spoiler Free)

This book is wonderful! I personally think this goes up with Harry Potter! The book is performed great by Lisa Flannigan. The only problem if I had to pick one is I feel like the male characters voice's aren't done very well, but the narrator is a female so it makes since. The story is so beautifully writing and it is just so good! But this is my opinion on Ending: The Only.

Good Ending

Good ending to the story. A little darker than the other two books, but heroism in the face of fear a good lesson.

everything gets a 5

per my 7 year old son's evaluation, he says "all three books get a 5." I do feel that parts of it were a little graphic/morbid for his age, but he and I both enjoyed listening.
