INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Collins, Suzanne

Gregor the Overlander

(2) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Gregor and his little sister fall down a rabbit hole-like air duct; what awaits them at the bottom is no tea party. The strange inhabitants of this nightmarish land are convinced that Gregor is the warrior spoken of in a centuries-old prophecy who will prevent their annihilation by gigantic rats. Collins sends a reluctant Gregor on the classic hero's journey in this fast-paced, immensely satisfying narrative.
