Summarize the story:
Grandma, who is a little crazy, yells at George because he's growing up. She thought he should grow down. George makes a medicine that will replace grandma's other medicine, because she always yells at him and he is sick of it. George gives Grandma the medicine, then she grows, then to show grandma he made the medicine, George gives some to a hen. The parents come home from shopping to see a giant hen, a giant grandma, and George. Dad finds out the whole story. He tells George to make more medicine, because he wants bigger animals. He and his Dad keep making mistakes, the first attempt on a chicken, made it have longer legs. The second attempt on another chicken gave it a longer neck. The third attempt was on Grandma and it made her shrink so small you couldn't see or hear her. It ended so abruptly, with out a real conclusion, it kinda just ended.

hobbit 10


 I'm on chap. 10 in the hobbit now. There are some new characters coming in. Here are their names:

  • The king (of wood elves)
  • The chief guard
  • All of the other wood elves
The wood elves capture the dwarfs. Bilbo has to save them because the wood elves put them in prison cells. The elves capture the dwarves because long ago there was a war between Elves, dwarves and goblins. The elves still see the dwarves as the enemy. Everybody still sees the goblins as the enemy.

Bilbo saves the dwarves from the elves by putting on his ring and getting the keys from the chief guard, who was asleep from the wine he drank. He gets them out and hides them in barrels. The elves thinking the barrels are full of wine float them down the river. 
They will probably get out of the barrels in chap. 11.

chap 2 of hobbit BETTER VERSION


Some new characters came in and they are trolls. Here are their names:
  • Tom
  • Bert
  • William
They have this victim cave which has swords, clothes, food and bodies of their victims.

In this book I'd say they are EVIL because they put the dwarves in bags and wanted to kill them (they are like vampires, they can't stand the sun)then gandalf comes back and tricks the trolls(they thought they lost him, he explained when the trolls turned to stone) by imitating their voices and well dawn came and goodbye trolls.

Optims

P.S. DOUBLE TROLL

the hobbit


The main character is Bilbo Baggins and he is a hobbit. He has a pointy walking stick. Hobbits are little people with furry feet (as the picture shows you).He was very nice and he had a friend named Gandalf who was a wizard. Gandalf had friends who were dwarves. And they all went down to Bilbo's house to hang out. They talked about things bilbo didn't know about yet.They also sang. Now back to bilbo. Bilbo had a quiet life and he lived in this big tunnel which was very cool.

The dwarves, whose leader is Thorin, came to Bilbo house (tunnel) because Gandalf put a sign on the door that said "burglar". They were going to steal their gold back from the dragon named Old Smaug. Old Smaug ate people at night and took all of the gold from the dwarves.
