"Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane" by Suzanne Collins

  

Warning: This is the second book in a series. If you haven't read the first book you may not want to read this.

Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane is the sequel to the wonderful novel Gregor The Overlander written by The Hunger Games author, Suzanne Collins.  This book and the ones after it are not Dystopian themed like her well known Hunger Games Trilogy. This series takes place in modern time with a big fantasy twist.

It's been a few months since Gregor and Boots left the Underland. Gregor swears that he will never go back to that place and it's dangers, but the Underlanders have other plans. They need his help, and they plan on getting it by any means necessary. Their first step of action is to get Gregor to come back down. In order to lure him back, they do the unthinkable. They kidnap his sister. Gregor finds himself in harms way once more, and has bigger difficulties to over come this time. Will he be lucky enough to get back to New York again? Or will he not survive that long?

I loved this book as much as the first one. The series in and of itself is just really good. Even though it was originally targeted for a younger audience, more and more of the young adult audience seems to be picking it up and falling in love with it. The book has you racing through the pages to see what will become of Gregor's rather unfortunate  predicament. Like I said before in the first books review, It cracks me up when people are like "OMG! I am the biggest Suzanne Collins fan!", to which I reply, "Oh what did you think of Gregor?", then they get completely lost. Yeah biggest fan alright. If you're the "biggest fan" I highly recommend you go ahead and read Gregor and the Underland Chronicles if you haven't started too already.You won't be disappointed!
