His dad is sick and can't work so his family is struggling to make ends meet. Show More struggling to deal with life after returning with his father from the first book in the Underland Chronicles. I would reccommend anyone with sense of imagination to read, and love, this book. I think the author brought edge of the seat suspence and really did well with this book. But that's what makes books like this good. They really got me with Luxa not coming back and all. I never really thought that Boots was dead because it just couldnt happen. Boots and Temp are found alive and all ends well.for now. Later they are found not guilty because if they would have killed the Bane, they would have been at war with the gnawers. He is set to die along with his bat bond Ares because they did not fufill the prophecy. Gregor lets the Bane live and returns to Regalia. But how could he kill it when it was only a pup? Sea serpents take the lives of Boots, Luxa, Aurora, and Temp. Throughout their journey a bat gets eaten alive by mites. Regalia is on the brink of war with the gnawers (giant underland rats.) His job is to find the Bane, which is presumably in the center in a series of mazes called the Labrinth, and kill it. Soon enough it is time to leave to fufill his role. Show More really only taken because everyone knew that Gregor would go anywhere to find Boots and they needed him for a prophecy.
