Welcome to the Abiator's modest The Hobbit plot summaries pages.
Here you will find brief summaries of each chapter of this great book written by 5AB.
These chapter summaries are NOT intended to be detailed. Quite the opposite, in fact. Each chapter summary contains what the Year 5 students of 5AB thought were the MAIN plot elements.

We also drew some cool pictures to go with each of our chapter summaries. A sample of this work is included with each chapter summary.

Why not voice your opinion and write a book review about The Hobbit?

    [11] On the Doorstep

    The Company finally arrive at the Lonely Mountain.   [Take a look at the Lonely Mountain]

    After a lot of searching, Fili, Kili and Bilbo found the secret door.

    When a beam of light from the setting sun showed where the keyhole was, Thorin used his key to open the door.

    They all pushed and the door swung open. Inside was a pitch black tunnel leading down, into the mountain.
