The Underland Chronicles is seriously underrated.

It follows Gregor, a kid who discovers an entire world beneath New York City. What starts as a strange adventure becomes a long-running conflict between species, developing into themes of war, loyalty, and survival.

It doesn’t feel like The Hunger Games at all in setting, but you can still see Suzanne Collins’ style in how the stakes escalate.
