Bookroo's summary

When Gregor tumbles into the mysterious Underland, he discovers a world teetering on the edge of war. Prophecies hint at his crucial role, but Gregor's only concern is finding his missing father. As he navigates alliances with uneasy creatures like spiders and rats, Gregor must decide if he will embrace his destiny or flee from it. With the fate of the Underland and his family hanging in the balance, Gregor's journey promises danger, discovery, and transformation. Will he uncover the truth and save his father, or will the Underland's secrets consume him?

When Gregor falls through a grate in the laundry room of his apartment building, he hurtles into the dark Underland, where spiders, rats, cockroaches coexist 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.

This unforgettable novel by Suzanne Collins, the international bestselling author of the Hunger Games series, is rich in suspense and brimming with adventure.
