Marsh's MMGM is Gregor the Overlander (The Underland Chronicles #1) by Suzanne Collins

  So many of you have read The Hunger Games, but have any of you read Suzanne Collins's other series, The Underland Chronicles?  It is about a boy named Gregor who goes into a grate in his apartment, falls way down, and finds a whole world underground.  He is in one of the Underlanders prophecies and now he is involved in a conflict between giant rats and humans.  This is a great series packed with adventure and I recommend it for all fans of Suzanne Collins.

    OMG! In fifth grade, my friend recommended the series to me, and I LOVED IT :) It was so good! I actually liked it better than The Hunger Games. It's a shame that most fans of The Hunger Games don't even know that Suzanne Collins has another (awesome) series of books.

    That's how I found out about Suzanne Collins. I loved that series. Since I already read it, I'll let someone else win.

    A brand new book that is similar to this is Grinti's Claws. It's on Netgalley.com if you use this service to get books to review. I do wish others would pick up Gregor more often!

    My love for these books started back at the end of fourth grade. Reading out of order I started with the Curse of the Warmbloods then I went back and properly started at the beginning. Amazing series, I agree with Hwa Sun Kang, I loved them so much more than the Hunger Games! I even have a tradition of reading them at least once a year.
    I wish the winner a happy reading experience!
