Gregor the Overlander

Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins (0-439-43536-6)

It is very rare to find a children's fantasy title that breaks into new territory, but this is one. Gregor and his toddler sister, Boots, fall through a duct in their laundry room into the Underland. It is a world filled with talking rats, spiders, bats, roaches and humans. The story follows a quest format, but with such action and spirit that it never drags.

Recommend this title to kids who enjoy fantasy. It will open their eyes to the possibilities out there beyond Harry Potter. Even better, the end hints at a sequel to come!

This book is just as good as a Harry Potter book. I couldn't put it down and was sad when it ended but there will be a sequel. The book will keep you guessing until the very end

There is already a sequel: Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane. And a third book in the series will be released later this year.

I really liked this novel. But the ending wasn't very action filded. It could have more action!
