Gregor and the Marks of Secret


Suzanne Collins fourth book of the Underland Chronicles, "Gregor and the Marks of Secret", is as splendid as the others.

Gregor finally is reunited with the Bane which he rescued in the second book. Now, it's time to kill him. He's dumping all the nibblers into a place where no one would be able to find them. Luxa, the twelve year old queen of Regalia, has declared wars on the gnawers for their act of greediness. The rats believe that the mice were the ones who started that plaque from the last book. They nibblers were all fine and dandy while rat pups died.

Gregor, Luxa, Hazard, Boots, Henry, Ares, Aurora, and a new bat named Thalia, all go on this journey to find the nibblers when Luxa found a mouse dead in an old children's room.

Before they left, Gregor noticed this symbol on the rock with the body. If only he knew that that was a mark of secret and it means death to those who seen it. How do I know this?? Hazard found the exact symbol in a cave where the nibblers were and said Frill (a giant lizard) taught him the marks of secret.


Will Gregor win this war? Will he tell Luxa he has feelings for her? Find out in Gregor and the Marks of Secret.
