description: Book 1 in The Underland Chronicles When eleven-year-old Gregor follows his little sister through a grate in the laundry room of their New York apartment building, he hurtles into the dark Underland beneath the city. There, humans live uneasily beside giant spiders, bats, cockroaches, and rats - but the fragile peace is about to fall apart. Rich in suspense and brimming with adventure, Suzanne Collins's debut introduces a character no young reader will ever forget. Available only in The Literacy Bridge 5.
