Overview
Before The Lord of the Rings, there was The Hobbit—Tolkien’s timeless tale of reluctant hero Bilbo Baggins, who leaves his quiet life to journey through Middle-earth with a band of dwarves on a quest to reclaim their treasure from a fearsome dragon.
An epic blend of adventure, fantasy, and rich world-building, The Hobbit is a foundational text for fantasy literature and a gateway into Tolkien’s larger mythology. With themes of bravery, growth, and friendship, it remains a staple in middle and high school classrooms.
Perfect for:
- Grades 6–12 literature and fantasy genre units
- Cross-curricular studies in mythology, maps, or language
- Book clubs and gifted reader programs
- High school enrichment or honors curriculum
