What is the "Hobbit" about?

Question

I will read it, but I'm doing it later in the school year. We have a Hobbit day. Everyone reads the book and then we get to dress up as characters and watch a movie.

I just want to know so I have a basic idea of what I'll be getting into later.

Answer 1

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HOBBIT IS ABOUT BUT YOU SHOULD CHECK SPARKNOTES IF THE HAVE IT . THEY TELL YOU WHAT'S ABOUT . HOPED I HELPED !

Answer 2

The short version: Vertically-challenged homebody gets sucked into a big adventure, saves his companions' lives multiple times, and comes home with an evil Ring of Power.

You should read the book, it's a lot better and more interesting than I probably made it sound.

Its from Lord of the rings and its a magical adventure about a hobbit named bilbo baggins led by a wizard and dwarves on a adventure to kill a beast (dont remember his name)Its a great book!

Answer 8

Hobbits.

Answer 9

You can check out sparknotes.com for a summary, but basically, Gandalf, a wizard and dwarves come to Bilbo, a hobbit's house and ask him to go on an adventure with them.  Bilbo's first response is no, but then he gets pushed into it.  On the adventure, Bilbo is the hero and saves them a lot.  The adventure is to go to the Lonely Mountain and take the gold that Smaug, a dragon, took from Thorin, the main dwarf's grandfather and Dale, a town.  At the end, Smaug goes to Lake-town, where the dwarves got help along the way and Bard, an excellent archer, kills him.  Everyone hears about this and comes to the Lonely Mountain in hopes of getting gold back.  Then, the Battle of the Five Armies begins and the Goblins and the Wargs, evil wolves lose.  Then, the dwarves, elves, and Lake-town men get the gold.

Sorry that it is so confusing, but I hope that it helps.
