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.

    [15] The Gathering of the Clouds

    The Company is told of the death of Smaug by Roac, leader of the Great Ravens of the Mountain.

    Roac tells Thorin that the armies of the woodelves and Lake-towners is coming.

    Thorin tells Roac to get the ravens to ask dwarves from everywhere for help - especially his cousin, Dain, from the Iron Hills.

    The armies of the woodelves and people of Lake-town march up to the Lonely Mountain to get the treasure.

    They are surprised to see Thorin and Company still alive.

    Woodelves and Lake-towners ask for a share of the treasure, but Thorin says, "No!"

    The armies of Lake-town and the woodelves put the mountain under seige until Thorin changes his mind.
