This story is about a dboy named Marty, his dog named Shiloh and Judd Travers. In his story Marty finds Shiloh and wants to keep him , on the other hand Judd was abusing Shiloh. I think this book is for adults and children of all ages.

Summary: Very Good
Review: Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor is a very good children's novel. "Boy and their dog stories" have been kind of a staple in children's literature since Ouida's A Dog of Flanders, and this is one of the better examples. This book is narrated by Marty, and eleven-year-old from a very poor West Virginia family. He happens upon a dog one day who has noticably been abused. Marty falls for the dog, but he doesn't want to return it to its owner. Ethical questions are raised as to whether he should return the dog or keep it (steal) and lie to his parents. This novel presents a good and well-written story. It also raises some thought provoking questions and teaches some marvelous lessons. My favorite aspect of the novel was the way in which the family was written about. The setting and speech are captured exactly. The situation of a dirt-poor family that loves each other and is working to better itself is presented brilliantly. Children should read Shiloh.

When he started walking again the dog followed him. When he finaly got home him and his family saw how cute he was but he knew he couldn't keep him. Finally Marty came over to Shiloh and Started to stroke him on the back. He found that the dog had a collar on. His dad came thumping in the driveway when he asked where he got the dog from. Marty grinned and said " up by the shiloh bridge ". Marty went on. Marty named the dog after the old shiloh bridge where he found him.

Summary: Fantsaic book
Review: As I read it, the story was about a boy named Marty who tried to save a dog. The owner of the dog was mean and beat the dog. It was a good book to read. My favorite part was when Marty took Shiloh, the dog, CC away from Judd. At the ending, Judd tried to kill Shiloh. He didn't and he swore to get even.

Summary: beloved childhood memories
Review: Lately I've been recalling some of the books I read in school, since it will be only a couple of years before I graduate from school. I remember seven years ago when I read "Shiloh", one of the best children's books there are. It's about a boy who finds a beagle and tries to keep it away from it's cruel owner. I really loved the pictures of life, with good details. It's about friendship, responsibility, trying to get along, and how wonderful it is to have a pet. Your children are sure to love it and remember it forever, as I have.
