He lives in a shabby apartment and his mom works full day, everyday to get enough money for his family. Gregor’s life is turned upside-down when he follows his baby sister, Boots, down an air vent and falls miles into a strange underground city, the Underland. After being greeted by an array of giant creatures and strange people, Gregor is dying to get home. No matter how hard he tries, the Underlanders won’t let him go. Gregor’s many questions go unanswered until he finds out about the prophecy. Could Gregor be the warrior it talks about? Could this prophecy help Gregor find his dad who went missing two and a half years ago? <br/> This book is definitely one of the best I’ve read months. Any fantasy lover will find themselves hooked in the action filled twists and turns of Gregor’s life. Collins incorporates fantasy-like creatures smoothly into everyday life in this amazing kickoff of the Undlerland chronicles. This is definitely a book you have to read! The Underland is one of the most creative ideas I have ever seen, from giant bats to evil rats, this book is a page turner that you can’t put down. I still can’t quite figure out why, it’s not a mystery, it’s not a horror story, but I just couldn’t stop reading it! Once I devoured Gregor’s first journey, I just needed to read the next book and satisfy my hunger! <br/> <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/888219?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
