Gregor the Overlander

How is it that so much time can go by in a blink of an eye?  This year has truly flown for me.  It's been a while since I posted some of the great books I have read.  I have to admit, it is a tough thing to do during a busy school year, but there is a book I read recently I would recommend to everyone.  The book is Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins.  This is a great science fiction book about a boy and his system on a journey underground.  It's a story of courage, bravery and perseverance.  I highly recommend it as a read-aloud for 2nd graders and possible an independent book for kids in 3rd and above.
