When Gregour 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 Gregour has a role to play in the Underland's uncertain future. Gregour wants no part of it -- until he realizes it's the only way to solve the mystery of his father's disappearance. Reluctantly, Gregour embarks on a dangerous adventure that will change both him and the Underland forever.

With a nod to Alice in Wonderland, Collins imagines a New York City in which two children fall down a grate in their apartment building's laundry room into an incredible world under the city, inhabited by gigantic roaches, rats, spiders, bats, and, humans known as Underlanders. Eleven year old Gregour and his two-year old sister, Boots, become entangled in a quest to save this dangerous but intriguing world from disaster. This is a fabulous fantasy series for kids who have finished Harry Potter and are wondering what to read next. Collins makes this incredible world inhabited by gigantic creatures entirely believable. Who would have thought that an author could make giant cockroaches so loveable and appealing?

Gregour The Overlander is an amazing book! You will be caught in it's amazing story line until you finish it! It is about a young boy named Gregour and his baby sister Boots, they accidently stumble into an underground world known as Underland and find out their dad (who was lost long ago) has been trapped in this world all along. They run into all kinds of creatures like giant rats, cockroaches, spiders, and bats. If you want to hear the rest of the story then this is the book for you.

This book was really good! I read to my kids almost every night, and usually end up reading something that doesn't hold my attention. Gregour kept it and made me want to read longer!!! My kids enjoyed them and so did I.
