Summary: Very Good
Comment: 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.

Summary: Marty finds Shiloh, but will Judd let him keep Shiloh?
Comment: It is good and this is how it starts. Marty finds shiloh near the old Shiloh schoolhouse, so he names his dog Shiloh, only to tell, that it's Judd Traver's dog. Judd is a mean guy and treats his animals very cruely. Marty will do anything to get Shiloh and keep him for his own, away from Judd Travers. But will Judd let him? Read the book to find out what happens to Marty, Judd, and Shiloh. If you don't, it would be a shame. Phillis Reynolds Naylor is a great writer, and everyone should read Shiloh. So buy it now, or check it out at the library. Adults would love it too, even though people say the reading level is only for kids ages 9-12. I hope you read Shiloh, and enjoy the book. Thank you for reading my opinion and for all of your time.

Summary: Great Book!
Comment: Shiloh
The book Shiloh, a realistic fiction book, is a great book. Shiloh, by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor is about this boy, Marty, who found a dog. [...]Naylor made the characters in her book as real as she could. With Marty, the main character, you can hear what he is thinking. You can't literally hear him think, but the book says what he is thinking. If you have read Jade Green, also by Naylor, you probably know what I am saying.
This book is all about animals. It talks about animal abuse and how to try and help animals that were abused. All through the book Marty knows Judd Travers is abusing Shiloh, the meanest guy in town. He tries to tell his parents but they will not believe him. So they give Shiloh back to get more abused.
Shiloh is a very touching book. I suggest that you read it. Any body would really like it. It would be especially be good if you love animals.
