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?

    [3] A Short Rest

    The dwarves and Bilbo arrive at Rivendell for a rest.

    Rivendell is a place where elves live and their leader is Elrond.

    Elrond reads some moon-letters on Thorin's map of the Lonely Mountain which say where the secret door is.

    They leave Rivendell heading towards the Misty Mountains.
