Summary: This is an excellent book, if you like dogs. You're there!
Review: This review is prepared by a read-aloud group of fifth graders...

We felt as though we were walking along with Marty and Shiloh. We have only read one chapter so far, but it seems as though this will be an interesting book to finish. We noticed that the book was written in an earlier time, before cable television. We enjoyed the introduction of the dog into the story, and we appreciated the attention to details about the dog's behavior. We look forward to reading the rest of the story!

Summary: Young Boy Works Hard To Earn Dog
Review: "Shiloh" focuses on an eleven-year old boy namedMarty Preston, and his devoted love and loyalty to a dog namedShiloh. Shiloh is a young beagle pup, who is owned by a mean man named Judd Travers. Marty feels for the way the dog is treated, and agrees to work for Judd to obtain ownership of Shiloh. However, many challenges face Marty when he is refused the dog for payment. Also after receiving Shiloh as payment, Judd will not leave Marty or Shiloh alone.

There were two main key points in the book of Shiloh that Phyllis Reynolds Naylor is trying to stress. One is the devoted love of an eleven-year-old boy to a young beagle pup. This is where Phyllis dwells most on the story, is building the friendship and hidden bond between the boy and the dog. The other main point that the author is trying to stress is the willingness of love and loyalty. For instance, dwelling on Marty working for Judd, to pay him off in exchange for Shiloh. This helps better demonstrate the boy's determination of owning the dog. It also clearly demonstrates the love and caring that Marty has for the dog. It shows the effect of working to pay for a dog, in whom he dearly loves. Overall "Shiloh" is a book anyone should read to better understand the saying of "dog is man's best friend".

Rating:
Summary: A suspenseful book!
Review: I think Shiloh is a great book because the book is saying never give up and you'll come out on top. I think this because Marty, the main character, keeps on trying and he comes out on top.

Rating:
Summary: I think the book was adventurous!
Review: The message that the author is trying to send is if you want something you have to work for it. This message tells you about the story because the book is about Marty, the main character, who has to work hard for Shiloh.
