The Hobbit
Book Summary from the back cover
Bilbo Baggins was a hobbit who wanted to be left alone in quiet comfort. But the wizard Gandalf came along with a band of homeless dwarves. Soon Bilbo was drawn into their quest facing evil orcs, savage wolves, giant spiders, and worse unknown dangers. Finally, it was Bilbo --- alone and unaided --- who had to confront the great dragon Smaug, the terror of the entire countryside!
