Tolkien is known as the “Father of Modern Fantasy” for a reason; telling a fantastic epic of a little man named Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo Baggins, a wealthy little Hobbiton, lives in the luxurious Bag End, the Baggins Family home, and has had a yearning for adventure. Tolkien manages to set up a realistic fantasy life of the Shire citizens by going on to include obscure family rivalries that have bore on for generations. When the “call to action” finally approaches Bilbo leaves in the presence of thirteen dwarves and a Wizard named Gandalf the Grey on a quest to reclaim a throne long destroyed in the dwarven homeland. Goblins, orcs, giant eagles, spider, trolls, and dragons, The Hobbit has it all. Fair warning though; because the book was published in 1937 the writing style of Tolkien might be a little hard to follow, so be prepared to look up words. All in all, if you’re looking to find your next fantasy novel or looking to start reading them, The Hobbit is a great place to start. Rating 5/5 @Ezekiel_Hannegan of the Yorba Linda Public Library Teen Book Bloggers The Hobbit is a fantasy novel that tells the story of one hobbit who went on an adventure and actually enjoyed it. Bilbo Baggins is disturbed from his comfortable, luxurious life by Gandalf, a wizard, who sends Bilbo on an adventure with 13 dwarves. The group meets trolls, elves, goblins, wolves, and more on this fantasy-filled journey. The final destination is the mountain where the dragon, Smaug, resides over his stolen treasure. To find out how this wonderful story ends, I recommend you read this prequel to the Lord of the Rings series. On a scale of 1 to 5, I rate this book a 5 because it was a great book filled with adventure on every page. Catherine P., grade 11, of the Yorba Linda Teen Book Bloggers
