Summary: A heart-warming and wonderful read!
Review: In the sequel to Shiloh, Shiloh Season, the award-winning author, Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, once again beautifully portrays the rural life of West Virginia and the love a young boy, Marty, has for an abused dog named Shiloh. In this sequel, Marty is faced with the conflict of losing Shiloh to the dog's original owner Judd Travers. Judd is known throughout the small community of Friendly, West Virgina for not only being a drunk but also for abusing his dogs. I would recommend reading the first Shiloh before reading Shiloh Season. However, Naylor gives background information in chapter 1 to refresh the reader's memory from what happened in the first of the 3 novels. Therefore, if you choose not to read the first Shiloh then you will not be totally lost when picking up with Shiloh Season. Marty worked for Judd in the first Shiloh in order to earn the right to own the abused beagle Shiloh as his very own. However, in Shiloh Season, Judd continuously taunts Marty in wanting Shiloh back as his dog again. What could possibly make this situation worse? Judd is drinking heavier now than ever before and backing up his threats of taking Shiloh with gunshots at Marty! Marty learns many important lessons throughout the course of the story. He not only learns the different responsibilities that accompanies raising a dog but he also learns that truth and honesty are always the best policy even if it means losing something that you love. Marty also learns that forgiving someone is sometimes very hard but a very crucial lesson when growing up. As a teacher, I would definitely recommend this book for 10 year old students and older to read independently or for teachers and parents to read aloud to their children of the same age level. I can't wait to read Naylor's Saving Shiloh which is the third book of the Shiloh trilogy. I also hope to see future books about Shiloh to continue the series.

Summary: This is a good book.
Review: It all first started when Shiloh was being abused by his owner Judd Travers. So Marty tried to take him away but after an attack from a German Shepherd, Shiloh was hidden no more. His parents found out ing and worse Judd Travers Shiloh Season was a book about a boy named Marty and a dog named Shioh,and a man that Marty despises named Judd Travers. In this book Marty feels like he did not get Shioloh fair and square. He thinks that the only reason that he got Shiloh was because he saw Judd do something that he was not allowed to do. Because of this Marty keeps on getting the feeling that Judd wants Shiloh back. But Marty loves Shiloh and doesn't want to give him up. There is a lot of conflict going around with Judd and Marty. Since Marty had taken away Shiloh from Judd he has been drinking and drinking ever since. Marty is worried that since he drinks and is violent he might come after Marty or even worse come after Shiloh and kill him. Marty fears for his life. He has to look over his shoulder every second of his life.

Summary: Judd Travers is not always mean
Review: Judd Travers, the original owner of Shiloh, changes from bad to good by the end of the story. One time when Judd Traver was on his porch with one of his many shot guns, he shot a squirrel for no reason at all. All the squirrel was doing was running around in the forest. He shot it out of season which wasn't too good. Another time when Marty (the main character) was walking on the side of the street, Judd Travers come passing by in his car. He was so drunk that he almost hit Marty. When Judd Travers had as a dog, he would kick Shiloh all the time. So Shiloh is very much scared of Judd Travers. After Judd Travers had a car crash, he started acting a little nice. Judd Travers never before let anybody go inside his house, but after the crash he let Marty into his house. After Judd Travers had a car crash, he started acting a little bit nice to Shiloh. Before he was really mean to Shiloh and not even touching him or going near him. After the accident, he started touching Shiloh and Judd Travers started sitting next to Shiloh. Everybody thinks Judd Travers is mean 24 hours a day but the truth is that he can be nice.

Summary: Top Caliber Sequel..............
Review: Once again Phyllis Reynolds Naylor has delivered a fantastic family story. Her writing style makes you feel as if you are part of the story. The story is full of family values. As a native West Virginian I love to hear mention of the West Virginia towns of Clarksburg, Wheeling, Sistersville, Middlebourne, St. Mary's, and of course Friendly. This sequel to Shiloh finds Marty adjusting to his life with the beloved beagle he saved from an abusive owner. Marty is concerned that the owner may still try to take Shiloh away or worse try to shoot him. Marty struggles with his conscience in dealing with Judd Traverse. At times he can't stand him and; yet, he also can't help but feel that Judd is the way he is because he does not know any other way to act, that know one has ever showed him love and respect. Marty is determined to show Judd that all people are not bad. The story did to seem to end abruptly. We are excited about reading the next book in the trilogy.

Summary: Shiloh Season is wonderful!
Review: Shiloh Season was about a boy named Marty and a dog named Shiloh.They had an adventure that Marty would never forget. The setting was in a town just like any other town and the characters were realistic because Marty was like any other kid and Shiloh was like a normal dog. The main character was a very likable person because he was nice. I liked this story because it was exciting. Shiloh was like a real dog. My favorite part was when Judd Travers wrecked because he was always mean. One thing I learned from this book is that you can't make some people happy. I would recommend this book to a friend because it's realistic and heartwarming.If you like this book you will like Shiloh.

Summary: Shiloh is wonderful!
Review: Shiloh Sesson is about a dog and this boy. The boy's name is Marty and the dog's name ia Shiloh. Marty is afraid that Judd Travers will kill his dog. The setting was a real place because it was out in the woods. The characters were believable because they did things that we would do in real life. I liked the story because it had a lot of action in it. My favorite part was when Judd wrecked and Shiloh saved him. I liked this part because it shows that Shiloh was a brave dog. I learned from this book that if you beat a dog it will still be your friend. I would recommened this book to a friend because some of my friends like dog storys. If my friends like this book they would like to read Old Yeller.
