By Suzanne Collins
By the same author as The Hunger Games, Gregor the Overlander is a gentler, more fantastical adventure. Gregor lives in a small New York City apartment with his mom, grandma, and two-year-old sister Boots. They don't have a lot of money, and Gregor is bummed he can't go to summer camp. When Boots falls through a vent in the laundry room, he jumps in after her--and suddenly the two of them are in a crazy underground world inhabited by giant cockroaches, spiders and rats. There is also a kingdom of people underground who view Gregor as their hero, though he doesn't understand why. A great, action-packed adventure story! This is the first in a whole series of Gregor books, too.

i love this book, and it is just the first in a series. i have only read the first and second books, but they were very good.
