Bargain Book - The Underland Chronicles

I usually put more books into a bargain post, but this one is five books in one and is a series that should appeal to almost anyone that liked The Hunger Games, as Suzanne Collins is the author of The Underland Chronicles, as well. The series is aimed a a bit younger audience (young- thru mid-teens), but the reviews seem to be mostly from adults of all ages, all of whom enjoyed the series (just as Harry Potter is enjoyed by many adults).

Gregor the Overlander Collection (Books 1-5) is $19.22 on Kindle and price-matched over at Barnes & Noble. That works out to a bit less than $4 per title, which is a pretty good deal, to start with. The real deal, though, is over on Kobo, as this is not an Agency published title (and, have you seen the news that three of the big 6 are dropping the Agency Model and will be "compensating consumers" as part of a settlement with the DOJ?). Kobo is asking $21.69 for this particular volume, but you can use a coupon on it to get a better deal. I used the 45% off coupon (see right sidebar for codes I am aware of) and ended up paying $11.93 (plus state sales tax; odd that a Canadian company charges it, while most US e-stores don't).

Book Description
Read all five books in the New York Times bestselling Gregor: The Underland Chronicles!

When Gregor follows his little sister through a grate in the laundry room of their New York apartment building, he hurtles into the dark Underland beneath the city. There, humans live uneasily beside giant spiders, bats, cockroaches, and rats--but the fragile peace is about to fall apart.

Gregor wants no part in this conflict, but again and again, he and his family are drawn into the Underland. Gregor must find his place in the frightening prophecies he encounters, the strength to protect his family, and the courage to defend against an army of giant rats.

In this action-packed and masterful series, Suzanne Collins unfolds the fate of the Underland and its great warrior, Gregor the Overlander.
