Eleven-year-old Gregor follows his two-year-old sister into an air vent in the laundry room of their apartment complex and falls into the Underworld. Their arrival tears apart the fragile peace between the human dwellers, the rats, bats, cockroaches, and spiders. Gregor just wants to go home until he discovers his missing father may be alive in the Underworld and only he can save him. A fascinating tale of heroism and the realities of war put forth in a way young people can easily understand.
