GREGOR THE OVERLANDER By Suzanne Collins
How would you feel if you were sucked in through a vent and landed in a mysterious place where humans dress old fashioned, and cockroaches, spiders and rats were taller than you? Gregor finds out when he and his little sister Boots fall through a vent in the basement of their apartment building. When they land they find themselves in a place called, “The Underland”, and they were seen by a group of giant crawlers. The humans of “The Underland” have developed a city called Regalia. The people of Regalia do not meander outside the city for the fear that their archenemies, because the gnawers will attack them. The city of Regalia welcomes Gregor and Boots and gives them a place to stay; though Gregor accepts their hospitality, he wishes to go back to “The Overland.” He tries to escape and is outside the city when rats catch him, but luckily the people of Regalia save Gregor and Boots and kill two of those rats. My favorite part is after he is rescued, Gregor is shown a very special object, The Prophecy of Gray, this prophecy says that a warrior will come and lead Regalia in a war between the gnawers. The city of Regalia believes that Gregor is the warrior, and that he will have to befriend the crawlers, the spinners, and one gnawer to be on Regalia’s side, as the prophecy states. To find out how Gregor and Boots plan to save the city and rescue their father and get him back to the Overland, read Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins.
