Chapter 1Bilbo Baggins was a hobbit. A hobbit was a
small magical person. They lived in a
magical place called Middle Earth.
Chapter 2Bilbo had a party. He invited Gandalf,
a wizard. He also invited Thorin and his
band of dwarves.
A bad dragon, Smaug, had been ruling the
mountains. Gandalf, Thorin and Bilbo
decided to defeat him and take his treasure.
Chapter 3The group traveled to the mountain. On the
way, they stopped to see Elrond and the
other magic elves.
Chapter 4The band of travelers was attacked by
goblins. Gandalf saved everyone, but Bilbo
was separated from the group.
Chapter 5Bilbo hid in a cave. He found a magic ring
and won it by answering riddles better than
a bad creature named Gollum.
Chapter 6The ring gave Bilbo the power to be
invisible. He escaped and met his friends.
Chapter 7As they continue to travel, they were
attacked by giant spiders and other
creatures. Elves and giant eagles helped
them stay safe.
Chapter 8
The group finally got to rest at Lake-town,
where they were welcomed by humans.
Chapter 9When they reached the mountain, Bilbo
found a secret door and entered the
dragon’s lair. He learned how the dragon
could be killed.
Chapter 10The dragon was angry and tried to attack
Lake-town. A noble human shot him with a
bow and arrow.
Chapter 11The group took over the mountain and the
treasure. Everyone was greedy and a battle
was about to begin. No one listened to
Bilbo, and they told him to leave the
mountain.
Gandalf told everyone that goblins and evil
creatures were coming to attack the
mountain and they must band together and
fight.
Chapter 12With the help of the giant eagles, the group
won the battle. They divided the treasure
evenly. Bilbo did not take much and gave
others his share.
Chapter 13Bilbo returned home with enough treasure to
be wealthy and happy for a long time. What
few people knew was that he still had the
magic ring.
