Shiloh

Shiloh is by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. The first book in the Shiloh trilogy is a wonderful tale of a boy and his dog. 11-year-old Marty finds a mistreated beagle pup. Should he return the dog to its cruel owner? Should he tell his parents? Should he steal food to help the poor creature? Marty's efforts to cope with these questions provides the moral backbone for this story. A wonderful story of love and devotion.

Ratings: 4th grade - 9 out of 10.
