"Rich in suspense and brimming with adventure, the New York Times -bestselling Underland Chronicles unfold the fate of the Underland and the great warrior, Gregor. Suzanne Collins is also the author of the bestselling Hunger Games trilogy. When eleven-year-old Gregor follows his little sister through a grate in the laundry room of their New York apartment, he hurtles into the dark Underland beneath the city. There, humans live uneasily beside giant spiders, bats, cockroaches, and rats but the fragile peace is about to fall apart. Gregor wants no part of a conflict between these creepy creatures. He just wants to find his way home. But when he discovers that a strange prophecy foretells a role for him in the Underland's uncertain future, he realizes it might be the only way to solve the biggest mystery of his life. Little does he know his quest will change him and the Underland forever. Rich in suspense and brimming with adventure, Suzanne Collin's debut marked a thrilling new talent, and introduced a character no young reader will ever forget."

Biographisches: "Since 1991, Suzanne Collins has been busy writing for children's television. She has worked on the staffs of several Nickelodeon shows. Most recently she was the Head Writer for Scholastic Entertainment's Clifford's Puppy Days. While working on a Kids WB show called Generation O! she met children's author James Proimos, who talked her into giving children's books a try.Thinking one day about Alice in Wonderland, she was struck by how pastoral the setting must seem to kids who, like her own, lived in urban surroundings. In New York City, you're much more likely to fall down a manhole than a rabbit hole and, if you do, you're not going to find a tea party. What you might find...?

In spite of his aversion to the creatures and atmosphere of this hidden world, Gregor agrees to accept the role of Warrior in the hope of eventually making his way back home. Paul Boehmer's interpretation has just the right mix of suspense, mystery, and adventure to keep all listeners engaged. His voices create unique personalities for each character, and the straightforward production transports listeners to this fantasy world. A promising author. N.E.M.
