The Hobbit
Author: J.R.R. Tolkien
By: Haley M.
The Hobbit is a fantasy adventure book that is a prequel to the wildly popular book series Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien.
The book follows a young Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit who lives in a place called The Shire. A hobbit is a mythical creature who is just like a human, except they are much shorter with big feet. The hobbit community is very much against going on adventures, and they prefer to stay in their homes, or "hobbit holes" and relax. Bilbo is just like the other hobbits, until a mysterious wizard named Gandalf comes to The Shire.
Gandalf brings 13 dwarves to Bilbo's house by surprise and asks him to go on an adventure with them to a mountain, called The Lonley Mountain, above a system of ancient dwarf mines the leader of the dwarves, Thorin's, family use to rule until a dragon came and stole all of their gold and jewels and burned down the mines and the town around the mountain. At first, Bilbo refuses, not wanting to tarnish his families good reputation in The Shire, but he soon lets his curiosity take over and agrees to go on this adventure with Gandalf and the 13 dwarves to win back Thorin's mountain from the dragon, Smaug.
Will Bilbo, Gandalf, and the 13 dwarves conquer Smaug and take back the Lonley Mountain? Will they even survive the great journey it will take them to get there? For the answers to these and many other questions, make sure to read this exciting, classic fantasy.
