Gregor - A Primeira Profecia (Underland Chronicles, #1)
Suzanne Collins
Enquanto escorrega pela conduta de ar atrás da irmã, Gregor suspira por mais uma peripécia na sua vida. Mas nada o preparou para a aventura que se segue. Debaixo da cidade esconde-se a Subterra, um mundo sombrio onde os humanos convivem com aranhas, morcegos, baratas e ratos gigantescos. A Subterra prepara-se para a guerra e uma profecia previu que ele mesmo, Gregor, desempenhará um papel importante. Gregor quer fugir, mas percebe que ali talvez possa desvendar o desaparecimento do pai.

Despite some gruesome moments, I really enjoyed Gregor's adventures in the Underland. It was a fun ride a long side Gregor, the hero, and Boots, the adorable sister. There was a very noble character arc. The characters grew as they experienced and learned new things about the world, being able to latter apply them in their universe, as it's traditional of books for a younger audience.
Suzanne Collins it's an amazing researcher and the world felt very plausible. I really liked how the animals were anthropomorphized and the adaptation of humans to an environment without light. The Underland felt like a very eerie but magical place. I think the tone fit the narrative very well.
A great middle grade novel about a chosen one not so happy to fill that role. If you are a fan of fantasy settings, this might be for you.
