We just finished this read aloud with Jackson, the 2nd of a 3 part series. Great life lessons about being the underdog and finding inner strength to lead without giving up one’s integrity. I also love that the author uses her writer’s voice as a platform to acknowledge big issues that our children can learn about, too. This one addresses extinction and why humans and other species need to care, but usually choose to go about with selfish motives. It’s a great series! The third doesn’t come out until 2020, so we have some time to pick up some other reads!

This is the perfect follow up to the first Endling book! Even more character development for all of your favorites as their adventure continues, but prepare yourself for an emotional ride.
I found myslef cheering aloud and brought to tears for all the right reasons. I cannot recommend this series enough!

Great continuation of the first book I the series. The characters are fleshed out even more, and the world feels a lot more interwoven than before. A really excellent book!!
