Six months after the end of the first book, eleven-year-old Gregor is back in the Underland, where he must protect his little sister from the legions of rats who want to kill her, as well as hunt and kill a ten-foot-tall white rat. Book Two features Collins's careful attention to detail, pacing, and character development; Gregor's fans will cheer the promise of future visits.
