Synopsis:This is the sequel to the Newberry Medal winner Shiloh. With
hunting season approaching, Judd Travers, Shiloh's abusive former
owner, has started drinking again, and Judd Travers, beer, and a gun
are a dangerous combination. What if Judd tries to hurt Shiloh? What if
he tries to hurt Marty or someone in Marty's family? Marty knows
something about Judd no one else does, and if anything terrible
happens, the secret bargain Marty struck with Judd could make it
Marty's fault. Is it time for Marty to speak up? And can he find the
courage to do so? Review:In a follow-up to her Newberry Medal-winning story Shiloh,
Phyllis Naylor brings Marty Preston and his beagle back in another tale
sure to push the emotional buttons of her young audience. Marty doesn't
want to lose the dog he struggled so hard to gain, but when he sees
Shiloh's old owner, drunk and out hunting on Marty's property, he is
afraid of losing Shiloh for good. Along with the moving story of boy
loves dog, Naylor offers a sympathetic portrayal of life in West
Virginia. Certain to please her many fans, this sequel likely marks a
fuller series of stories of Marty and Shiloh. (Ages 8 to 12) |
