Publisher's summary

Rich in suspense and brimming with adventure, the New York Times-bestselling Underland Chronicles unfold the fate of the Underland and the great warrior, Gregor. Suzanne Collins is also the author of the bestselling Hunger Games trilogy.

When Gregor falls through a grate in the laundry room of his apartment building, he hurtles into the dark Underland, where spiders, rats, and cockroaches coexist uneasily with humans. This world is on the brink of war, and Gregor's arrival is no accident. A prophecy foretells that Gregor has a role to play in the Underland's uncertain future. Gregor wants no part of it, until he realizes it's the only way to solve the mystery of his father's disappearance. Reluctantly, Gregor embarks on a dangerous adventure that will change both him and the Underland forever.

Give it a try! Great for long car rides with the kids.

I really have enjoyed this entire series and it was just as fun as before to hear the book read to you. If you like Fablehaven or Harry Potter you could really enjoy this series, especially if you are looking for something new to read with the kids. My kids, at ages 9 and 11 both really enjoyed these, and since it is a series it was continuous over a few long car rides. Thank you!

This is by far the best coming of age story

The story is solid. Great character development and really about Gregor and the love and responsibility he feels for his family. I have three sets of hardback books sets just waiting until my nephews turn 11 y/o. Collins wrote this way before the hunger games and it by far is her best work. I love RipRed and Liszt. There is a character for everyone to fall in love with. It is the best way to have kids learn about the tragic results of prolonged exposure to violence. You have to read all five books. I’m glad Collins has refused to have this made into film or animation. It has to be read or heard

I love this story

I love the story because it’s really great for young readers! Reading it in Vance as my children, I found the book photos excellent and good for mature children. The person reading it sometimes I felt like they were trying to make the book for a younger audience, and I found that annoying at times, but the story is amazing.
