Endling: The Only
Autor Katherine Applegateen Limba Engleză Paperback – mar 2022 – 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
The thrilling conclusion to the epic middle grade fantasy trilogy from Katherine Applegate, the New York Times bestselling 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 bestseller 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.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
IN BOOK TWO OF KATHERINE APPLEGATE’S EPIC FANTASY ADVENTURE, BYX WILL BECOME THE FIRST TO LEAD A REVOLUTION.
Byx never expected she’d be the first.
The first of her pack to befriend a human.
The first to defy the ruler of their kingdom and live to tell the tale.
Byx always feared being the last dairne. The endling.
Now she is the first to journey into the unknown.
And the first to uncover a deadly secret.
She will become the first to change everything. BYX fears she’s the last of her kind, the endling. But legend tells of a place with a hidden dairne colony. So she’s on a journey into the snow-covered mountains of the country of Dreyland to find them, along with her friends:
Loyal TOBBLE,
Brave and resourceful KHARA,
Wise but deadly GAMBLER,
and RENZO the magical thief.
As the threat of war grows across the lands, they will face untold dangers at every turn. And when a treacherous plot that could bring both Byx’s dreams and the creatures of their world to the brink of extinction is revealed, they may just become the unlikely leaders of a rebellion.
