A World Beneath Our Feet
What if an entire civilization existed just beneath the streets of New York City? Eleven-year-old Gregor discovers exactly this when he and his two-year-old sister Boots fall through a grate in their apartment building's laundry room. Their unexpected plunge takes them to the Underland, a vast subterranean world populated by pale-skinned humans with violet eyes who ride on giant bats, and where cockroaches, rats, and spiders have evolved into intelligent, talking creatures. This hidden realm exists in a perpetual twilight, illuminated by phosphorescent stones that cast an otherworldly glow across towering stone cities and treacherous caverns. The humans live primarily in Regalia, a majestic city with organic architecture that seems to grow from the stone itself. Their society revolves around prophecies left centuries ago by their founder, Bartholomew of Sandwich, who led 800 followers underground in the 1600s. These prophecies, carved into stone walls throughout the city, are treated with religious reverence and guide the Underlanders' most crucial decisions. For Gregor, this accidental discovery isn't just a bizarre adventure-it's potentially the answer to his family's greatest mystery. His father disappeared over two years ago, leaving Gregor to help care for his grandmother and sister while his mother works multiple jobs. When he learns his father might be held prisoner in the Underland, what began as a terrifying fall becomes a desperate rescue mission with implications far beyond his family's reunion.
