I read the book Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins. It's a book filled with adventure about a boy who accidentally falls down a drain in the laundry room of his apartment building. His sister is looking for trouble until she falls down as well! It's a long drop and their are currents so they don't splat when they hit the ground. When they arrive, the first creature they meet just happens to be a giant cockroach.

 Gregor is stuck down there with these people called the Underlanders with silvery-shiny hair, bright violet eyes, and their ghost white skin. Gregor is lost in their city and is trying to find his way out, but the only way is too terrible for him to imagine. The people of this city ride giant bats and are enemies with giant rats, trying to completely obliterate the race of humans forever. Luxa, the princess of the Underland, Gregor, Boots, his two year old sister, and Vikus, an old man who is on the council of Regalia, their glorious stone city embark on a journey not only for Gregor and Boots to get out, but to find a long lost relative that will change the way Gregor feels about the Underland forever.

Gregor isn't exactly enthusiastic about doing this "quest" sort of thing. Even in the book it says that there's a prophecy about him doing this. They call him "the warrior." Gregor's not very giddy about all this. It even says in the book,

 "I don't know about this destiny thing. I mean, my dad and Boots and I . . . we all have the same laundry room, and we landed somewhere pretty close to you, so I'm thinking it's more of a coincidence. I'd like to help, but you guys are gonna have to wait a little longer for your warrior."

 This awesome mystery/adventure novel is packed with suspenseful endings of chapters, awesome action, and quite a few laughs as you read this outstanding book. I highly recommend it and would probably give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
