Gregor is still recovering from his first adventure in the underland when he takes Boots out for a mid-December sledding adventure in Central Park. But Boots disappears, and he realizes that she has been captured by a crawler (aka Big Bug, or giant cockroack) and taken back to the underworld. Gregor calls home to let his dad know he's going after boots, and with almost no supplies he dives into his second underland adventure. This time, Gregor discovers the Prophecy of Bane, which predicts the warrior will fight a white rat (the Bane) and that a baby will die, destroying the warrior's heart. Gregor of course reads this to mean Boots will die-- and his fears seem to come true when Boots, Luxa, and Luxa's bat drown during a battle with serpents. As with the first book, Collins has written an action-packed, moral-dilemna filled adventure that begs for a sequel (and there is one). This is appropriate for upper elementary and middle school. High schoolers might enjoy it, but the cover will turn most kids away. ( )

Today I am reviewing Gregor overlander and the prophecy of Bane!This book was written by Suzanne Collins. I decided to read this book because my librarian suguested it to me. I thought this book was a thriller.

From the begining of the book action happens! As soon as you open the book Gregor (the main character) loses his sister! She gets taken down to the underland and Gregor has to save her! Gregor learns of a prophecy saying that he must kill a large rat or the underland will be taken over by rats! But in the end Gregor doesn't kill it in the end because its a BABY!!!

Gregor Overlander is a very good book and I recomend this book to everyone who enjoys a good fiction story! This book most definitly met my expectations!!!!! ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0439650763, Mass Market Paperback)

Gregor learns of his role in another Underland prophecy, yet he swears he will never return to that place. But his vow crumbles when his little sister, Boots, is snatched. Gregor knows it is a ploy to lure him to the subterranean world, but he gives in and heads back underground, where he is reunited with his bat, Ares, the princess Luxa, and new allies. Together, they descend into the deadly Waterway in search of an ominous rat known as Bane. But Gregor must face the possibility of his greatest loss yet, and make life and death choices that will determine the future of the Underland.
