Gregor the Overlander
by Suzanne Collins
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.

Excerpt:
Gregor tripped out from between two smooth rock walls and landed on his hands and knees. When he raised his head, Gregor found himself looking into the largest cockroach he'd ever seen. Now, his apartment complex had some big bugs. But the creature in front of Gregor rose at least four feet in the air.

"Beeg bug!" cried Boots, and Gregor managed to close his mouth.
