Suzanne Collins

Suzanne Collins is the author of the critically acclaimed Underland Chronicles. Collins’s series is an Alice-in-Wonderland-on-crack story about an eleven year old boy named Gregor who tumbles through a grate in his laundry room floor and finds himself in the Underland, a subterranean world populated by some very weird people and some very, very big rats, bats, and cockroaches.

Note: Collins used to write for the Nickelodeon series Clarissa Explains It All.
