Gregor the overlander is the first installment of a five part series, and it is excellent from the start. Gregor is a kid with a lot to worry about, at 11 years old he has to look after his little sister and keep tabs on his grandmother while his mother works. His father has been missing for some time and life seems to be almost nothing but struggle and responsibility until one day when Gregor and his baby sister tumble into a whole new world hidden beneath our own.

My husband and I read this book aloud to our seven year old and we all loved it. The whole series is wonderful and I can't recommend it strongly enough. There is so much here to love; Gregor and his sister Boots are terrific and some unlikely creatures will steal your heart away. Wonderful adventures captured our son's attention like no other books have. One chapter was never enough and we loved the stories enough to get suckered into multiple chapters per night!
