Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods
Book Two left off with Gregor reading the Prophecy of Blood: a prophecy that calls for Gregor and Boots to return to the Underland to help ward off a plague. But this time, Gregor's mother refuses to let Gregor return to the Underland...until the rat Ripred assures the family that Gregor and Boots are needed only for a short meeting, which the crawlers will attend only if their "princess" Boots is present. Gregor's mom finally relents, but on the condition that she go with them so they aren't out of her sight. The Underland plague is spreading, and when, along with several of his Underland friends, a member of his own family is stricken, Gregor is desperate to succeed in finding a cure.

A quiet boy falls out of his laundry room into a fantastical subterranean world called the Underland. Accompanied by his toddler sister, Boots, Gregor embarks on a series of dangerous quests in order to fulfill his destiny, in a strange world beneath New York City, a world inhabited by giant talking creatures - cockroaches, bats, spiders and rats - and an unusual society of humans. And perhaps the strangest thing Gregor finds, is that they're all expecting him...
