Summary: Shiloh Season a review by Megan
Comment: Have you ever had a man accuse you of stealing his dog or having him try to kill you? Well in the book Shiloh Season by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, a boy named Marty has this problem. He worked for Judd Travers` for two whole weeks and kept secrets just to keep his beat up dog named Shiloh. Judd says Marty did not even earn that dog and it still belongs to himself. So Judd starts to drink more and more beer. Then all of the sudden one night he got so drunk he got in an accident. One night Marty and Shiloh were taking a jog down to Dr. Murphy's and he was not home, but Judd was around. They took a rest on a log and right in the middle of Marty and Shiloh a bullet comes flying. Judd! That is all that came to Marty's mind. Was it Marty or Shiloh he was trying to kill? Well if you want to know read this book! It's a great adventure story. I think you'll love it!
I like this book a lot, but I did not like it when Judd killed animals and tried to shoot at people.
I think the book was pretty neat though. When Marty had his mind full of secrets it made me think about what he might do with them. He might tell someone or he might not tell anyone. Then I was thinking of what might happen if he spilled out a secret. What might that lead to? This book kept me in a lot of suspense throughout the whole time I read it. The book has many cliffhangers in it so it makes me want to keep reading. I really enjoyed the book, but that Judd Travers made the book have some horrible scenes that were hard to understand and was uncomfortable to read. That's how I feel about this book.
The main character in the book I read is Marty. Everything is based on him and his life. He is a 10 year old boy who lives in Friendly, West Virginia. Marty has blond hair and two bratty sisters. Their names are Dara Lynn and Becky. He also has a friend named David. They go to school together and are in the same class. Marty has many traits throughout the book. One is he is a very curious boy who always needs to know things. He is also a very courageous kid. He is always spying on Judd, making sure he doesn't do bad things. Marty is a very caring kid. When his dad thought Judd was hunting in their woods, Marty was worried about Dara Lynn and Becky, but most of all Shiloh. Marty has many strengths. One is he is very good in school. His teacher feels that he wrote a great report but he must use his "family" language at home and good grammar in school. He also is a very good spy. He goes to Judd's house with his friend David. They were being very underhanded. Marty also has weaknesses. He just barely leaves Shiloh to get on the school bus. Rarely does Marty ever go to friends house for a long time. Those are some of his strengths and weaknesses.
I think Marty does all the right things! I think Marty loves Shiloh so much that whenever he is not with him he anticipates being with him. To me Marty resents Judd Travers. Everything in Marty's life seems to be very bewildering. During the book everything seems to change my mind. One minute I like the book, the next minute I do not like the book. Marty, a young 10 year old, seems to do quite a lot for his age. He is a very brave young boy to me. I like this book a lot because it makes you feel like you go right inside and the book comes alive. This was a spectacular book! I hope you will read it.
I thought this book was wonderful because it made me think about how hard life could be and that I do have a good life so I should be proud.

Summary: OPEN SEASON ON BEAGLES?
Comment: Hey--it's not fair! After all I sweated through reading SHILOH, you mean to tell me that our beloved hunting dog is still Not safe? I mean, Marty earned that dog fair and square with two weeks' drudgery--enduring Judd Travers' insolence, arrogance and psychological brutality. Can that creep really go back on his word and try to take Shiloh away from Marty?
It's now hunting season and Judd is handy with a gun in the woods, but he's been drinking heavily, and can't trust anyone. So it's back to the literary tension of the first novel in this trilogy. As I read I felt fear gnawing at me about the safety of this dog and the vulnerablity of Marty's emotional bond. His conscience is in agony once more as he struggles with adult issues of which choice is right or failing that, the least wrong. As Doc explains, sometimes the choice is not clear cut; bad things can result from even the right choice.
Marty chafes under the burden of keeping secrets from his father, but he has risked everything to save Shiloh in the first novel, so he won't endanger the dog's life or happiness now. Or will he have to? What terrifies him most is his realization that ANY time of year can be open season on his dog with a despicable neighbor like Judd!
Ms Naylor presents us with a clever conflict resolution instead of falling into the Deus-ex-Machina trap. I am always impresssed by the ingenious ways writers create such terrible predicaments for their progagonists, and then provide satisfying resolutions to the dilemma. But how long do we have to endure this country scumbag? When is someboy gonna Take Him Out so that poor Marty can just relax and enjoy the devoted love of this endearing dog? An excellent, suspenseful read.
