The last book of the summer falls into the young reader category. Gregor the Overlander is written by Suzanne Collins of the Hunger Games series. Gregor was her first book series.Gregor is a teenage boy living in New York City with his mom, grandmother, and siblings. His father has been gone for two years. One day Gregor and his baby sister discover an underworld via their laundry room. He becomes known to the underworld residents as Gregor the Overlander and is an integral part in fulfilling/solving a prophecy that was written long ago.
His adventure involves royalty, cockroaches, spiders, rats, and bats. I think this story is great for the late elementary/early middle school reader. I'm excited to read the next books in the series. For an adult, it's a quick read!
Love this series. I normally don't read all the books in a series because I don't have enough time but this one I did and loved it. Great for 4th graders!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked the other books in the series. I wondered if the prophecies would drag on :)
