The Hobbit is about an awkward, antisocial hobbit that gets put into a huge mission and has to face his own inner fears. The hobbit's name is Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo does the same thing every single day. He lives alone in his house and he is totally fine with that. One day, Gandolf, a wizard goes to Bilbo's house and asks him to go on a mission to defeat the dragon. Bilbo doesn't take it seriously but then the next day, the wizard comes back with the trolls. And they basically force Bilbo to go, making him go outside of his comfort level. But he finds out so many new traits about himself that he begins to admire. I recommend this book if you are into fantasy because if you aren't, you find this book enjoyable. Although I think this book carries a great message and I know teens will be able to relate.
