I’m really enjoying this series! I made the mistake of trying to finish the book last night - ended up going back and red-listening to the ending again because I didn’t know what happened.

I liked listening to this 2nd in the Underland Chronicles series with my daughter in the car. I liked it better than the first, even though it’s somewhat predictable.

This book is targeted for younger readers (I'd suggest grades 4-8).
I previously read (and apparently neglected to review) Gregor the Overlander, Book 1 in the Series. Had I remembered to review it, the reviews for the two books would be very similar.
Suzanne Collins, author of the Hunger Games, penned this series of a fantasy world below New York. Gregor and his adorable sister, Boots, accidentally stumble upon this world in book 1. How, you ask? Think Alice in Wonderland...although there aren't many rabbit holes in New York city, especially in a laundry room. In book 2 Gregor returns to the Underland, this time because of the Prophecy of Bane.
As with the first book this one is packed with action. There are sad moments, but they are some kids would understand with a little conversation. The book is fast-paced and keeps you interested. The characters are believable and often explain their actions, making it perfect for children. Most of the characters are honorable, which I love, and the theme was easy enough to find. There's an added bonus of a prophecy to figure out and a twist in the ending.
I recommend this one to read with your kiddos for sure!
