Return to Regalia’s Gregor the Overlander 20th Anniversary Special

Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins first hit shelves on September 1st, 2003. Even twenty years later, these books continue to fascinate readers both young and old. To honor this life-changing series, the Return to Regalia podcast will be hosting a 20th Anniversary Special.

On September 1st, 2023, we plan to release a retrospective on the series as a whole that includes thoughts and memories from the fans! Whether you read it once as a kid, several times throughout your life, or are just now discovering the series for the first time, we want to hear from you.

From now until Sunday, August 27, please send a short email, no more than ~500 words, to returntoregalia at gmail dot com. (You can sign with whatever name you prefer to be read on the podcast or call yourself Anonymous.) In the September 1st special episode, we’ll read your emails aloud to celebrate the profound effect these books have had on us.

Your email can include:

IN SUMMARY: Send your favorite things about The Underland Chronicles to returntoregalia at gmail dot com before Sunday, August 27, and we’ll read your email on our 20th Anniversary Special episode.

UPDATES!

I have lowered the word limit to ~500 words. I’m absolutely delighted by all the emails we’ve received so far, and this new word limit is to make sure we have time to get to all of them on the episode. If you already sent one in that’s more than 500 words, don’t worry, your email is still perfectly valid and will be read on the podcast.

Also, the deadline to send in your emails is now Sunday, August 27. This is to give us time to record and edit the podcast during the week so the episode can release on Friday, September 1.

Thank you everyone for your continued participation in this anniversary event!

Today is your last day to send something in!

Going insane about Grace’s “I think you’ve seen enough” at the end of code of claw. About Gregor going to the park and he and Lizzie not knowing how to act as kids play around them, because they have seen too much. About gregor running to the cloisters without thinking to ask his parents their permission to go, because he’s had to face death on his own without permission, so what could warrant needing permission anymore? What could compare? About him feeling the world has no place for him after all he’s done. About him not thinking of himself as a kid. Losing my mind about Gregor’s lost childhood.

ok wait i rbed this earlier but rbing again to add: the fact that gregor wasnt just stripped of his childhood innocence in the underland, but that it follows him to the overland is the thing that really gets me. grace's "i think you've seen enough" being in response to gregor watching the news on tv, seeing disaster and tragedy strike in his world. sure, maybe he knew those kinds of things were happening before discovering the underland, but now he has context that allows him to fully understand the weight of these events. it isn't just like "wow, there sure is a lot of violence and injustice and death in the underland! welp oh well, time to head back to the overland where everything is a-okay!" he's been forced to acknowledge and grapple with the horrors in his own world, in his own life, and he is twelve. he is only twelve.
