Gregor and the Marks of Secret
Gregor and the Marks of Secret | Suzanne Collins
7 posts | 38 read | 6 to read
It's only a few months since Gregor and Boots returned from the Underland, leaving their mother behind to heal from the plague. Though Gregor's family receives frequent updates on her condition, they all know Gregor must return to fulfill his role as the warrior who is key to the Underlanders' survival. Accompanied by his now-talkative little sister Boots, still considered the honorary "princess," Gregor joins forces with another princess - 12-year-old Luxa - and Ripred the rat to defend the Underlanders and the vulnerable "Nibblers," or mice, from the rat army.

Book #4 in the series. Oddly Libby didn‘t have this so I had to buy it. Gregor continues on saving the underworld through another prophecy. His mom is still recovering, Boots manages to tag along on the journey, and all the regulars are off into more parts of this world to save everyone.

SABOTAGED BY A CLIFFHANGER!!!!! War is declared for the sake of the Nibblers who saved Queen Luxa as the crew interpret a prophecy hidden in a popular Regalian song. Yet another prophecy is left for Gregor to find but it seems to end badly, so nobody wants to talk to Gregor about it. To be continued...

#Audiocrocheting and learning the star stitch while I'm listening to the last disk of this. We're not gearing up to a happy ending but I'm hopeful because there's one last book! 🤞🤞🤞

j.rye Love the star stitch. It‘s probably my favorite because it never gets boring. 5y
IamIamIam @j.rye It's so much fun!!! I have no idea why I've never attempted this before! 😂 It's the perfect stitch for a pretty variegated yarn. 😍 5y
julesG What are you making? I've wanted to use the star stitch for a blanket, I'm tired of granny squares, but I need to finish some other projects first. 5y
IamIamIam @julesG I made a blanket for one of my students with velvet yarn and this together so I thought I'd make a pixie hat to go with it. She's having a baby in July. Here's the pattern and I feel like it's the perfect swatch size to get used to the stitch. It's not crazy complicated but I had to try it a few times. https://www.crochet-patterns-free.com/2015/03/free-crochet-pattern-baby-bonnet-s... 5y

Had to go old school for the next installment of the Underland Chronicles! On disk 3 already and it's going at a pretty good clip.

The penultimate book in the Underland Chronicles. This book is a set up for the final book, unlike the earlier books that had a conclusion at the end. Great writing and lots of feels.

My fifth grade boy gives another 5 Stars without hesitation. He loves this series. It is great reading it with him at bedtime. We got his high school sister back into it with this one too. ✌🏼❤️📚

My son and I are reading the Gregor the Overlander series. This week, we read the characters discussing a scythe. I was beside myself when I realized that I have made it to the age of 45 thinking that the Grim Reaper carries a sickle, when in fact a sickle has a short handle - he carries a scythe. Seriously, the things I do not know. Also, I was saying scythe wrong until I thought to have the dictionary app pronounce it for me. #ForRealFriday

Sace Uh. Ditto everything you said. Thank you for this educational post! #dictionaryappaddict 7y
