Explanation and subtly balance perfectly. Wonderful." "The accoutrements of successful fantasy--a unique setting, a believable hierarchy, and colorful but rounded characterizations--are here, and Collins makes the best of them. She firmly establishes both her characters and her world before sending her players on their dangerous path. Betrayals, revelations, and shifts of alliance keep the tension high, and the action is almost nonstop. There have been a umber of fantasies about secret civilizations that exist beneath he streets of urban centers; this lively title is a splendid addition to the ranks." "Collins does a grand job of world-building, with a fine economy of words--no unnecessary details bog down either the setting or the invigorating story." Publisher's noteWhen Gregor falls through a grate in the laundry room of his apartment building, he hurtles into the dark Underland, where spiders, rats and cockroaches co-exist uneasily with humans. This world is on the brink of war, and Gregor's arrival is no accident. A prophecy foretells that Gregor has a role to play in the Underland's uncertain future. Gregor wants no part of it-- until he realizes it's the only way to solve the mystery of his father's disappearance. Reluctantly, Gregor embarks on a dangerous adventure that will change both him and the Underland forever AnnotationEleven-year-old Gregor was prepared for a sweltering, uneventful New York City summer babysitting his little sister Boots when an unbelievable, terrifying adventure pulls them--via an air vent--into a dark world filled with giant insects, bats, and pale people with purple eyes. Gregor reluctantly becomes involved in a life-changing prophecy involving the quest for his long-missing father and saving the citizens of Underland. This is the first book in the Underland Chronicles; others include GREGOR AND THE PROPHECY OF BANE and GREGOR AND THE CURSE OF THE WARMBLOODS.
