Endling: The Last
Autor Katherine Applegateen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 mar 2019 – vârsta până la 12 ani
Cum îi explicăm unui copil fragilitatea lumii vii și responsabilitatea pe care o avem față de speciile care dispar sub ochii noștri? În Endling: Book One: The Last, Katherine Applegate transformă un concept biologic dureros — dispariția unei specii — într-o aventură fantasy plină de speranță și curaj. Remarcăm cum Byx, cea mai mică și mai tânără din haita ei de dairne, se trezește brusc în postura de „endling”, ultimul individ al unei specii mitice vânate până la extincție în regatul Nedarra. Subliniem măiestria cu care autoarea construiește o lume complexă, în care abilitățile unice ale creaturilor devin atât un blestem, cât și o cale de salvare. Reținem dinamica grupului de proscriși care i se alătură lui Byx: Tobble, Khara, Renzo și Gambler, fiecare aducând o perspectivă morală diferită asupra loialității și supraviețuirii. Ca și Endling: The Only, primul volum al seriei reușește să educe tinerii cititori despre importanța biodiversității și a empatiei fără a fi didactică, folosind metafora creaturilor fantastice pentru a reflecta realități ecologice presante. Stilul narativ este alert, însă lasă spațiu pentru momente de reflecție profundă despre ce înseamnă să fii singur și ce forță îți oferă o familie aleasă, nu doar cea de sânge. Este o lectură care invită la dialog despre pierdere, dar mai ales despre puterea de a merge înainte atunci când totul pare pierdut.

Descriere scurtă
A New York Times bestseller from the beloved author of the action-packed Animorphs series and the award-winning The One and Only Ivan. In this first book of an epic middle grade series, Katherine Applegate takes us on an unforgettable journey.
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 next read 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!

Textul de pe ultima copertă
I REMEMBERED
with a sudden pang, my mother’s words the last time we were together: It’s never wrong to hope, Byx.
Of course, she’d also said: Unless the truth says otherwise.
Byx is used to being the youngest and the smallest. But for all her life, she’s also been part of something bigger—part of a family, part of a pack. Until the terrible day Byx finds herself alone, the last of the dairnes. The endling.
For dairnes, the pack is everything: root and branch, heart and soul. Byx is determined to see if the legends she’s heard over the years about others of her kind are true. She sets off on a quest, traveling through the war-torn kingdom of Nedarra. Along the way, she meets new allies who each have their own motivation for joining her: Tobble, the worthy wobbyk; Khara, the girl of many disguises; Renzo, the thief with honor; and Gambler, the principled felivet.
They start as Byx’s friends and become her family, and together they uncover a secret that will threaten the existence of not just the dairnes but every other creature in their world.
