    Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins is May's Book of the Month for kids and tweens

    Gregor and his sister are sucked into an underground world where they must form alliances with cockroaches and bats to fight rats who are keeping Gregor's dad hostage.  This is an exciting  fast paced adventure story from the writer of the Hunger Games.

    Joy, the Children and Family Literacy Librarian at the Esquimalt Branch, chose and reviewed this month's book.
