Main Conflict: When Gregor follows his little sister through a grate in their laundry room, he finds himself in the Underland, a mysterious world beneath the earth's surface. A place infested with much larger versions of common vermin such as rats and roaches, and most interesting of all, a race of pale skinned, purple eyed humans. His main interest is to make it back home, but then he realises that he is the overland warrior named in the Prophecy of Gray, the one who will lead the quest that will either save the Underlanders from the rats, or fail and plunge the Underland into darkness. It is also foretold he may save his father from the rats who had apparently captured him years earlier. Will he manage to save his father and the Underland, or will it fall into chaos and death.
Best Part: One of the members of the quest is a traitor, 3 are dead and the remainder are surrounded by rats. Gregor has rescued his father but it looks as if they will all die anyways. The prophecy foretells that one more member of the quest will die, and that the fate of the others lies in his hands. Gregor believes this final person to be him and runs towards the cliff, vaults over the king of the rats and jumps. The other rats and the traitor, Henry, follow like lemmings. But then Henry's riding bat, Ares, defies the laws of the Bats and the Humans and saves Gregor instead of Henry. Henry and Ares are bound together and supposed to save eachother when in need, but Ares saves Gregor. As they flew away, all Ares would say was: "I never knew, Gregor. I never knew."

Taking the leap for the team doesn't always end up for the worse, as this case shows.
The main conflict is not really a place where you dump a lot of information. You can relay the #1 issue of the book in a sentence or two. Re-read your best part section and find the sentence where it is given, because it truly is.
