THE HOBBIT by J.R.R Tolkien

Gandalf the Grey had a plan for Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit (a small creature of middle earth). The Dwarfs were sent by Gandalf to Bilbo’s house to ask him to come with them on an adventure to the lonely mountain in search of the dwarfs’ stolen gold and once claimed mountain by the Dwarfs but then stolen by Smaug the dragon. Bilbo couldn't say NO fast enough. Yet all 12 dwarfs and Gandalf the wizard convinced him and his “NO” turned into a “YES.” So off they went the next morning. But little did they know about all the obstacles that they would face on their trip. They were chased by Goblins and wolves that could speak, met Gollum (a creature that lives forever) and killed (or tried to kill) Smaug . This would be hard enough considering Smaug could only die by being shot by an arrow on one scale and only one! Bilbo was in over his head but could a magic ring he found help him in so many ways it is uncanny? This book was the book for me! My favorite part was when all the dwarfs came to Bilbo’s house telling him all about adventures and people who he didn’t even know existed. They even expected supper and a big one at that. It was so funny to imagine Bilbo running around his house getting all this food! So if you’re interested in Gollum, goblins, wizards, dwarfs, wolves, and magic rings- oh but most importantly if you want to know if they defeat Smaug read The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien.
