Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods, by Suzanne Collins

Reviewer's Name: Rebecca
Reviewer's Grade: 7
Rating: Highly Recommend

Additional Information:
The Prophecy of Blood is what Nerissa had handed him. Not the Prophecy of Bane. Gregor, one day, finds a scroll, a cry for help from the Underlanders. Gregor is now determined to find the cure to this prophecies plague, for his family’s life is at stake. Gregor’s mom came to the Underland just because they had called Boots and Gregor. But now, Gregor’s mom has the plague, along with his bonded bat, Ares. Gregor is reunited with old friends and they all travel together to unravel the mystery of Sandwich’s prophecies. I personally rate this book the best out of all of the Underland Chronicles. It had a great amount of suspense, humor and problems. The Underland hasn’t changed much so the setting is the same. Like I said, this book was AMAZING!!! I would definitely read this series. From the first book to wherever Collins decides to stop this series, they are all really good. I got hooked on this book easily so I read it within a mere 2-3 hours. It was a relatively short book with 358 pages.
