Endling the First

 The book Endling the First by Katherine Applegate is about a darine named Byx who is fearless. This is the sequel to Endling the Last by Katherine Applegate.

Byx, Tobble, Gambler, Khara, Renzo and Dog all are looking for darines. After everything they have gone through they are still somehow surviving. Byx doesn't like how all these amazing creatures and humans are risking their lives just for her. They finally find two darines and Byx can't believe her eyes. After one gets killed Byx is left with just one darine but that will do. The darine's name is Maxyan and he is not thrilled with Byx about having his father killed. Tobble, Maxyan and Byx go on a journey to find more darines while the rest are on a different journey. Will Byx be able to find more darines? I recommend this book to 5th graders and up.




Endling the Last

 Endling the Last by Katherine Applegate is a book with some violence. This is the first book in the series.

Byx is used to being the runt of her darine pack, all her siblings tease her. When Byx adventures to the water early in the morning the day her pack is supposed to move to find more darines she smells something she hasn't smelled in a really long time, humans. She races back to her pack and sees that the humans are there, she watches in horror as her pack gets killed. She instantly makes a goal, that she will find darines. On her adventure she meets a loyal friend named Tobble, a good human named Khara, a feveilt named Gambler, another good human Renzo and a dog named dog. They look almost everywhere and still no darines. Byx starts to wonder if she is the endling. I recommend this book to 5th graders and up.

If you enjoy this book, I would recommend reading the second book in the series, Endling the First. The third book in the series is set to be released on March 2, 2021.
