The Underland Chronicles is a five-part series of fantasy novel by Suzanne Collins, first published between 2003 and 2007. It tells the story of a boy named Gregor and his adventures in a land called the "Underland", hidden under New York City. The Underland is inhabited by humans, who live in the stone city of Regalia, along with various giant versions of such creatures as bats, cockroaches, rats, lizards, mice, ants, and spiders. According to the author, the series involves many topics relating to war, including biological warfare, genocide, and military intelligence.

Book 1: Gregor the Overlander (2003). Eleven-year-old Gregor and his two-year-old sister Boots fall through a vent in the basement of their apartment and find themselves in a strange place called the Underland, where they meet the people and creatures who live there. The Underlanders identify Gregor as the warrior of their prophecy, and Boots the "princess" that all cockroaches worship. Gregor goes on a quest to save his lost father in the midst of a war between the Underlanders and the rats.

Book 2: Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane (2004). Gregor is lured back to the Underland to slay a rat called The Bane, along with his bat, two rats, the Queen of Regalia, his sister, and two cockroaches. The Prophecy of Bane tells that the rats seek "a barely speaking pup." The Underlanders tell Gregor that "pup" is the rats' word for baby. Gregor starts to wonder if Boots will ever see the sun again.

Book 3: Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods (2005). When Nerissa hands Gregor a new propechy, he knows that he has to go back to the Underland. But that is certainly not okay with his mother. She decides to come with him. They go through the grate in the laundry room only to find that a plague has come into the Underland and it soon infects Gregor's mother and Ares, Gregors bond. Gregor and the Regalians must quest to find the cure. They go to find it in the Underland's jungle. At the entrance, they meet Hamnet, a man who left Regalia years ago after a great tragedy, Hazard, his Halflander son who can speak to animals, and Frill, their giant lizard friend. They head into the jungle that is full of flesh-eating plants, poisonous animals, and no fresh water for miles around. The only thing that keeps Gregor from running away is the thought of his sick mother and best friend.
