Saving Shiloh has 9 reviews and 7 ratings. Readers of any age would enjoy reading this book because I think it is a realistic fiction that most of us can relate to. I recommend that you read Shiloh first because it is the first book in the series. Marty has to be brave and stick up for himself, Shiloh and David. After you read it you will realize that your life isn't that bad when it compares to some of the characters in the story. This book made me feel good when I was reading it. My favorite character was Marty because he was such a dependable young man who really wanted what was best for Shiloh.

I believed he changed when he quit drinking and abusing his dogs. Grade Level: 4-5 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Childrens Publishing Number of Pages.

He used to abuse the privilege of drinking which caused him to drink and drive, and get in a horrible accident. Saving Shiloh is a powerful novel that brings this trilogy to a close. This made Judd a hero since such a big crowd gathered around. My favorite part was when Judd jumped into the almost frozen, icy cold, speed flowing river to rescue Shiloh. Will it destroy the friendship with Judd that he never had?

David (Marty's best friend) suspects Judd Travers murdered a guy in town. Now Marty has Shiloh and he thinks Judd Travers and him are even enough to call a truce.

More action, more worries, and more trouble appear in this book. Shiloh is followed by three other titles comprising the Shiloh quartet: Shiloh Season, Saving Shiloh, and A Shiloh Christmas. Shiloh won the Newbery Medal in 1992, the IRA-CBC (International Reading Association & the Children’s Book Council) Teacher Choice Award in 1994, and is the recipient of many state book awards. Marty’s character struggles with the same issues that troubled Naylor after she met the stray dog: moral ambiguity, animal cruelty, and personal responsibility. Acclaimed children’s author Phyllis Reynolds Naylor based Shiloh on a poignant, personal encounter with a mistreated dog. Marty bonds with the dog, Shiloh, and learns more about himself and others as he struggles to reconcile the letter of the law with what he knows in his heart is right. Eleven-year-old Marty Preston fights to save an abused beagle from its cruel owner in Shiloh (1991).
