Book title: The Hobbit

Author: J R R Tolkien

 

The Hobbit is an adventurous and mysterious tale. The main character is the hobbit. He goes on an adventure with twelve dwarfs and a wizard called Gandalf. The hobbit’s name is Bilbo Baggins. Their adventure included horrible trolls, goblins, a dragon named Smorg and a battle of the five armies. They go on an adventure to retrieve their stolen treasure from under the mountain.

This book is set in a made-up world .In this world there is the Lonely mountain and the Misty mountains. This is where the majority of the book is set. I really enjoyed listening to this book and my favourite character is the hobbit named Bilbo Baggins . I’m excited to listen to the next books in the series. I would recommend this book to my classmates.

Score 9/10

Book Review

Honey the Sweet Fairy

by Daisy Meadows

Kirsty and Rachel went to Mrs. Twist’s sweet shop to get a jar of toffees. But all the sweets tasted disgusting so Kirsty and Rachel told Mrs. Twist they would go into the stock room to get fresh ones. But when they went in they found a goblin inside. Then they saw Honey the Sweet Fairy. The goblin had messed up the stock room by flinging treats all over the floor. If you read this book you can join Kirsty, Rachel and Honey on the rest of their adventure. This book is suitable for ages five plus. This was an amazing book. If you read this book I hope you enjoy it too.
