Elessar Jones is so excited for his opportunity to work with a publisher on a book. He grew up in a family that loved to read, so much so that he and his siblings, Ginny and Perrin, were named after characters from books. Elessar is planning on writing a book about being a "nerd" as a star athlete in professional football. His name, Elessar, is the Elvish name for Aragorn, a main character in the popular fantasy series, the Lord of the Rings. Like his parents, Elessar is a super fan of this series, and has read most of the books by J.R.R Tolkien. Jones's book, which will be called "An Unexpected Journey to the ISFL" draws comparisons between his unlikely career path from nerd to superstar and the unlikely journey which led a small Hobbit named Bilbo in "The Hobbit" to find the Ring of Power, steal treasure from a dragon, and befriend a wizard and a band of Dwarves.
