(3) 4-6 Endling series. Illustrated by Tony Piedra. Byx is a "dairne," a sentient doglike species on the verge of extinction. After humans slaughter her family, she sets out on a quest to find more of her kind. Friends ("wobbyk" Tobble; human girl Khara) help, but others want to enslave Byx for her ability to distinguish lies from truth. Once past its tragic and gruesome beginning, this thoughtful adventure hits deeper notes about truth and wrongdoing.
