Bilbo Baggins is about to go on a journey of a lifetime, but he doesn’t care. In fact, it doesn’t matter to him at all. He would rather be in his home, a snug little hobbit hole, eating cakes and sipping tea. Unfortunately for him, he’s going on a journey no matter what, along with a wizard named Gandalf and 13 dwarfs (I’ll skip the names). The dwarfs are the number one cause for the trip. They’ve been looking for someone to take with them to win back their long lost treasures from lazy dragon, Smaug. With plenty of dangers along the way, will the party be able to survive?
The Hobbit, Or, There and Back Again by J.R.R. Tolkien was very beefed up on details, so I really enjoyed it, but it was also rather annoying. Tolkien made the book too long, and I desperately wanted to get to the end. I still like the book, and I’m looking forward to reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Oh, and my favorite character? That would definitely be Gollum. “Read The Hobbit we wants them, my Precious.”

Yes, it is related to the Lord of the Rings. In fact, this book, if it were in a series of events, would have happened before the Lord of the Rings saga. But no, it is not a book in the series. Yes, the wizard is named Gandalf.
You're welcome!

Mrs. Conley's class says, "Is this related to Lord of the Rings? Is it a book in the series? Isn't the wizard named Gandalf?"
Thanks Connor!
