PG 81-105

Frodo,Pippin, and his best friend sam set out on the long journey to a town called Riverside. As they go they have to escape some ominous men in black cloaks, which they call 'Riders'.

The elves repack their supplies and have a little party, for thats what Elves do. one of the elves, Glorin was his name, warned them that if Frodo is being hunted this early in his trip, he can expect much more horrible things outside the Shire(his home country).

FOTR 1


Fellowship of the ring
                        PG 0-41
            The story starts off with a small creature, a hobbit, named Bilbo Baggins. He is famous among the hobbits for he is rich due to his tremendous adventures that were in the prequel to this story. On his one hundred and eleventh birthday, he holds and extravagant party for over 100 hobbits and tells them he is leaving forever. He leaves his home and treasures to his nephew, Frodo Baggins. He also leaves to Frodo a magical ring that makes the wearer invisible.

 I have already read the prequel so I know why all this is happening. I hope it is as good as the Prequel, The Hobbit.
