Several months have passed since the events of the first novel, when Gregor and his baby sister Boots first fell into the subterranean kingdom of Regalia (a part of the " Underland") and undertook a quest to save their father, who was being held prisoner by a group of Underland rats. It has been praised as a sequel to the preceding novel and for showing the maturation of Gregor in the face of continually dark events. Scholastic has rated its grade level equivalent as 5.3 and its lexile score as 680L, making it appropriate for the average 11–13 year-old. The novel has also been released as an ebook, and is available from various online stores. Listening Library published an audiobook version read by Paul Boehmer on April 11, 2006. Several editions have been published, including standalone paperbacks and hardcovers and a paperback boxed set including all five books of the series. The novel focuses on a prophecy mentioned at the end of Gregor the Overlander which the Underlanders believe requires the protagonist Gregor to hunt down and kill an evil white rat known as the " Bane". Published in 2004, the novel contains elements of high fantasy. Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane is the second book in Suzanne Collins's children's novel series The Underland Chronicles.
