The Underland Chronicles is a series of five fantasy novels for young readers by Suzanne Collins, published between 2003 and 2007, before she wrote The Hunger Games. It follows Gregor, a boy from New York City who falls through a vent in his apartment building’s basement with his two-year-old sister Boots and lands in the Underland, a hidden world beneath the city where pale humans live alongside giant bats, rats, and cockroaches.
The five books are Gregor the Overlander (2003), Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane (2004), Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods (2005), Gregor and the Marks of Secret (2006), and Gregor and the Code of Claw (2007). Collins has said the series deals with themes of war, including biological warfare, genocide, and military intelligence.
