This is a realistic, well written book that is highly deserving of the Newbery Medal. Recommended to readers of all ages, this book is sure to please.

Summary: Story the whole will enjoy................
Comment: This wonderful story about a boys' love for an abused beagle will be enjoyed and loved by the whole family.
It is written in such away that the characters become very real as you read along. You will relate to Marty's struggle as he decides whether to do what is legally correct or to do that which is ethically correct in deciding the future of the beagle he has named Shiloh.
As a native West Virginian this book struck a cord of familiarity as I read about cities that are familiar to me. Also the issue of poverty, which sadly every West Virginian is aware of as West Virginia has one of the highest poverty levels in the United States.
It is truly a gem. I hope the schools in West Virginia are using this wonderful book as part of their curriculum.

Summary: Shiloh great book
Comment: The book I read was Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. Shiloh was a great book. It had a lot adventure. It was exciting too. The mean character in Shiloh was Judd Travors. My favorite part was when Marty found Shiloh. What will Judd do? Read this book and find out. I recommend this book to everyone. I hope you read Shiloh.
