Shiloh
Overview & Summary
Eleven-year-old Marty Preston finds and falls in love with an abused beagle he names Shiloh, but the dog legally belongs to a cruel neighbor known for mistreating his hunting dogs, forcing Marty into an agonizing series of moral compromises -- including hiding the dog and lying to his own family -- to protect the animal he loves. Phyllis Reynolds Naylor's Newbery Medal-winning novel is a powerful story about the conflict between doing what's legal and doing what's right.
