This is the first book in a proposed series of five called “The Underland Chronicles,” though at the time of this writing, there is only one other book in the series — Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane. Even though he is only a child and knows nothing about war or the ways of the Underland, Gregor must find it in himself to bring peace to Regalia, and to bring his father home. Soon, Gregor is on a quest of twelve companions, four of whom (according to the Prophecy of Grey) will not survive the journey. And everyone thinks that a vague, centuries-old prophecy means that Gregor will be the warrior who saves the underland city of Regalia from the warlike rats.

But soon, he finds out that his father has been taken prisoner by the rats. One day Gregor and Boots inadvertently find out where their father disappeared to when they are sucked down an air shaft into the Underland.Īt first, all Gregor wants to do is get home to comfort his worried mother. While his sister Lizzie goes to summer camp and his mother to work, Gregor takes care of Grandma and the youngest child in the family, a two-year-old girl nicknamed Boots who was born after their father disappeared. Gregor lives in New York City with his demented grandmother, his emotionally wounded mother, and two younger sisters. And their chief enemy is a race of man-sized, man-eating rats (“gnawers”). Their uneasy allies include giant spiders (called “spinners”) and giant cockroaches (“crawlers”). What 11-year-old Gregor finds is an underground kingdom populated by purple-eyed people who live in harmony with giant bats (“fliers”).
