Gregor The Overlander is about a boy named Gregor. One day, when Gregor was taking his little sister Boots down to do the laundry, Boots falls into a hole behind the dryer. Gregor tried to stop her but he ends up falling in as well. The drop was long and at the end of it, both Boots and Gregor end up in a mysterious place hidden under the surface of the earth. This place was called the Underland.
In the Underland there are a few big changes, like giant friendly cockroaches and huge bats that people ride on. But a dramatic change is that they have a prophecy about an overland warrior (Gregor), going on a quest to defeat the giant, evil rats who are trying to take over the Underland. In addition, Gregor’s father has been missing for years and the Underlanders had his dad’s keys. The Underland leader told Gregor that she believed the rats were holding his dad captive. This information about his father convinced Gregor to go, accompanying him were a few Underlanders that were needed because of the prophecy. Then the team ventured out and hoped to finish the quest and return home. Unfortunately the team runs into many dangers and not all can survive.
I’ve had this book for years, but never read it. Maybe I’ll read it next.
