Book report

  Gregor, a loving brother, is stricken with fear when he realizes his sister has gone missing in his apartment and what he doesn't realize is that his quest to find her will become the greatest journey of his lifetime. Suzanne Collins's Gregor the Overlander grabs me and never let's go of my imagination and wonder about this wonderful tale. 

  Gregor, and his baby sister, Boots, live in a New York City apartment, they find that in their apartment's laundry room is an entrance to the Underland. It is a world containing no natural light, filled with humans with translucent skin, giant bats, snails, moles, scorpions, cockroaches, rats, lizards, mice, ants, snakes, fireflies, and spiders

  Gregor is the main character. The author portrays him to be somewhat shy and timid, but he breaks out of his shell when he finds out he is the warrior from the Underland prophecy. Filled with fear, he was unsure of the animals and people at first. He later befriends them to fight against the gnawers. Gregor really becomes charismatic when he goes on a perilous journey and kills the rat king.

  The overall theme is to never give up. Gregor never gave up on finding his sister and he never gave up on the Underlanders to kill the rat king. Gregor's mentality to never give up got him through all his struggles and benefitted him in the end. He fulfilled the prophecy and got his sister back.

  This was a terrific read for me and I enjoyed every word I read. There are more books to this series and I can't wait to finish them too. I highly recommend this book and that everyone should read it if the chance is given.
