Anyone who cheats and swears and lies and kicks his dogs has troubles inside himself, and when the man starts drinking, Marty realizes that Shiloh is in danger once again. As hunting season approaches and Judd begins hunting on their land, the Prestons know that something is bound to happen. They're right. Marty does the only thing he can think of to do, and discovers just how deep a hurt can go and how long it takes to heal.

In the sequel to Shiloh, Shiloh Season, the award-winning author, Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, once again beautifully portrays the rural life of West Virginia and the love a young boy, Marty, has for an abused dog named Shiloh. In this sequel, Marty is faced with the conflict of losing Shiloh to the dog's original owner Judd Travers. Judd is known throughout the small community of Friendly, West Virgina for not only being a drunk but also for abusing his dogs. I would recommend reading the first Shiloh before reading Shiloh Season. However, Naylor gives background information in chapter 1 to refresh the reader's memory from what happened in the first of the 3 novels. Therefore, if you choose not to read the first Shiloh then you will not be totally lost when picking up with Shiloh Season. Marty worked for Judd in the first Shiloh in order to earn the right to own the abused beagle Shiloh as his very own. However, in Shiloh Season, Judd continuously taunts Marty in wanting Shiloh back as his dog again. What could possibly make this situation worse? Judd is drinking heavier now than ever before and backing up his threats of taking Shiloh with gunshots at Marty! Marty learns many important lessons throughout the course of the story. He not only learns the different responsibilities that accompanies raising a dog but he also learns that truth and honesty are always the best policy even if it means losing something that you love. Marty also learns that forgiving someone is sometimes very hard but a very crucial lesson when growing up. As a teacher, I would definitely recommend this book for 10 year old students and older to read independently or for teachers and parents to read aloud to their children of the same age level. I can't wait to read Naylor's Saving Shiloh which is the third book of the Shiloh trilogy. I also hope to see future books about Shiloh to continue the series.
I think Shiloh by: Phyllis Reynolds Naylor would be a good book for 4th grade and 5th graders. I think that the theme is excellent and the conflict is exciting. The theme in Shiloh is always treat everyone with compassion. In the text Marty showed compassion by treating an injured dog named Shiloh with kindness. He tried to rescue him from Judd Travers. In addition the conflict was an example of man vs. man. In the story Marty is fighting Judd Travers because he wants to keep Shiloh. Judd Travers is abusing the dog. That is why I recommend this book for for 4th and 5th graders because it has an exciting conflict and a wonderful theme.
I read the story Saving Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. This book was about a boy named Marty who in the first book, Shiloh, worked hard to earn a dog named Shiloh from a very mean neighbor named Judd Tavers. In Saving Shiloh, Judd is drinking a lot and everybody in Friendly, West Virginia is becoming frightened of what he might do while drunk. Marty is afraid Judd might shoot Shiloh with his rifle he shoots squirrels with. One night Shiloh is yelping really loud. Marty and his dad wake up and go see what is wrong. Shiloh is yelping because Judd had driven into a porthole and rolled down a bank. Judd was taken to the hospital unconscious, and they found out he had broken his leg. Judd was in a cast for months, and missed his favorite time of year, hunting season. Since Judd was very sad, people were trying to be nicer to him. They made him dinners some nights and Marty even gave him a special treat in his mail box every day. At the end of the book Judd starts being nicer to dogs and Shiloh even trusts Judd enough to let Judd pet him. Shiloh Season was a very interesting and exciting book.Shiloh Season is an excellent book to read and is extremely entertaining. This book is sad and funny at the same time. It is very sad how Judd treats his dogs. If they do anything wrong Judd will whip them and possibly not feed them. It is funny how Marty treats his little sisters and how they treat him. His eight year old sister, Dara Lynn, is very spoiled and gets Marty in trouble all the time. Marty's three year old sister, Becky, is very young and says some very funny things. This story is also very touching as in how Shiloh reacts whenever Marty leaves him alone or how he gets very scared when Marty takes him near Judd's house. You should read this book because it is a very fast read and will keep you hooked on it. It is a sad book that has a happy ending and has a very realistic story. This book is great for kids who love dogs or any animals. This book is enjoyable for younger readers and even adults. Saving Shiloh is a heartwarming book that will keep you guessing.
Came on time, but very poor quality. Yes, I bought this as a used product, but on the label, it says,"Used, Good". The book is scratched, stained, and has a binding that looks like it is going to break very soon. DEFINITELY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!!
