  <default-description>Gregor learns of his role in another Underland prophecy, yet he swears he will never return to that place. But his vow crumbles when his little sister, Boots, is snatched. Gregor knows it is a ploy to lure him to the subterranean world, but he gives in and heads back underground, where he is reunited with his bat, Ares, the princess Luxa, and new allies. Together, they descend into the deadly Waterway in search of an ominous rat known as Bane. But Gregor must face the possibility of his greatest loss yet, and make life and death choices that will determine the future of the Underland.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[It was a pretty good book. I like how it wasn't to predictable, I didn't expect Bane to be a baby or Gregor to really &quot;fight&quot;. But I didn't really believe Boots was dead. Who kills a cute 2 year old? And I really doubt that Luxa is dead too. But I like the ending.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The only issue that I had with Gregor in the first book was that he seemed too nice, too thoughtful for an eleven year old. Collins paints him a little more realistic here in the second novel. But I tell you, I love this series. I'm really surprised that not everyone and their mom has read it.

It's still a little violent, but for older readers I think it's not too over the top.  I'm already listening to the 3rd in the series!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I've been reading a fair amount of young-adult and juvenile fiction lately...I like having a lighter read after reading something with a more serious theme.  The Gregor series, though, is far more than a palate cleanser.

    <body><![CDATA[Okay, I'm officially obsessed with this series now. Whipped right through this book too and have started the third, and just got back from rushing out to buy the last two books in the series. Collins is just fabulous at action scenes and pacing. And again, though the plot was somewhat predictable be...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53101577">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I think I enjoyed this story even more than Gregor the Overlander. It has the same great characters and was quick paced and even a bit more suspenseful.<br/><br/>I love that Gregor recognizes that some things are “just wrong,” and he is true to this belief even under strong pressure from other...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74952318">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was the second book in the Underland Chronicles, and it was just as amazing as the first. Suzanne Collins has a wonderful way of sucking you into a story and making you fall in love with her characters. This book was full of adventure with a lot of the old characters that we loved from the firs...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47224405">more...</a>]]></body>
