When eleven-year -old Gregor follows his two-year-old sister, Boots through a grate in their New York City apartment building's laundry room, they discover an amazing Underland world filled with giant talking cockroaches, bats, spiders, and rats. There lies the kingdom of Regalia, inhabited by pale-skinned, violet eyed humans called Underlanders. Gregor's appearance sparks a war between the Underlanders and the rats, and he finds himself the reluctant subject of a strange prophecy. But when he learns that his missing father has been imprisoned by the rats for more than two years, Gregor embarks upon a dangerous quest to save his father and the Underlanders.

With a fun, fast paced writing style, Suzanne Collins Gregor the Underlander is perfect for the ages of twelve and up.
