Shiloh: Phyllis Reynolds Naylor


This is one of my all time favorite books and favorite choice for summer reading!! Marty is a young boy who finds a poor,sad, neglected dog.  Marty does everything he can to take care of the dog and keep him away from his awful ex-owner Judd.  Marty knows that he cannot keep a dog long without someone noticing.  Time is running out for Marty and Shiloh.  Will Marty be able to rescue his beloved dog? Or will Judd find out and take him away forever?  Read to find out!!

This is the first book of three int the Shiloh series.  I read these for the first time many years ago and LOVED them like I do now.  Marty is such an all american boy who loves this dog! Shiloh is too lovable to resist.  If you love dogs, this book is a must-read!!
