J.R.R Tolkien

This book is about a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins who one day finds dwarves coming to his door! They want him to join them on an adventure to kill Smaug the Magnificent-a deadly dragon who destroyed the Dwaven town of Dale.

The Thornthwaite Inheritance

The Thorntwaite Inheritance
Gareth P. Jones

This book is about two children named Lorelli and Ovid Thorthwaite. The strange thing about them is that they can't stop trying to kill each other. They are not normal. The reason I love this book is that there are so many amazing schemes that the author has come up with. These are my top two:

Lorelli made a play about the French Revelution and cast Ovid as an aristocrat that was to be executed using a working guillotine.

Ovid put honey under Lorelli's horse's saddle which attracted Killer Bees.

There are exciting twists at the end- some good, some bad. Was it really Ovid who put the honey there? Get reading!
