The Hobbit By J. R Tolken

For my book report, I read The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolken. This is a story of epic proportions, despite it being written as a “children’s book”. The story takes place in the fantasy land of Middle Earth.

He just is minding his own business with his books and his fancy tea cups when a wizard named Gandalf and some Dwarfs convince him to go on a journey to help the Dwarfs reclaim their kingdom and their riches from a dragon, Smaug, at the Lonely Mountain.
