12. Gregor and the Code of Claw

This is the fifth and final book of the Underland series. It made me so sad to leave this wonderful world of underground fantasy. I wish that Gregor could stay with Luxa forever. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and have been recommending this series to others. I say that even if this isn't your genre, this series is a heartwarming one that will expand your reading horizons.

11. Gregor and the Marks of Secret



This was the slowest read so far of the series. I don't know exactly what it was missing but it wasn't as suspenseful or page turning as the previous three. On this adventure there really wasn't a "prophechy" they were trying to fulfill. They are trying to figure out what has happened to all the nibblers and the answer lies with the Bane. I do plan on reading the 5th and final installment of the series and I do hope that it is better than this book.

8. Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods



This was the saddest in the series so far. It was quite adventuresome but also sad. This adventure takes Gregor to the jungle to find the cure for the plague that has taken over the underland. Gregor tries and tries different paths.

7. Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane



This is book 2 and just as exciting as the first. IN this adventure Gregor is sent on a mission to fulfill the Prophecy of Bane. He finds out he is supposed to do away with the Bane, a baby rat. Ripred and Vikus help him to fulfill the prophecy. The next book is bound to be as exciting if not more so.

6. Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins


My friend Melissa is to blame for turning me on to this series. It is a story of a boy who finds this mysterious "Underland" world below his apartment building in NYC. The characters are amazing and the plot well developed. Theere are only 5 books in this series and I am wondering what will come in the following stories.
