Roman - Book Recommendation

Gregor the Overlander
Book by: Suzanne Collins- Review by: Roman G.


I would highly recommend this book. I read this series a year ago so I do not remember it very well, but I know that I liked this book very much.

What I can remember about it is that it’s about a person named Gregor and his baby sister, Boots, whose father mysteriously disappeared years ago and still isn’t with them. They live in a New York apartment and Gregor and Boots gets sucked into an air vent in the laundry. They end up in a whole different world and learn about different creatures and have many adventures.
