Customer Review #1:
 A good conclusion to the Marty/Shiloh trilogy!
Marty and his dog Shiloh come full circle in this last of Phyllis Reynolds Naylors trilogy. Having read each of the books in the series, I must say Shiloh is my favorite, but Shiloh Season and Saving Shiloh are well worth a readers time! Naylor has a knack for naturally developing her characters. We want to hate Judd Travers from the beginning, but we, like Marty, wonder if theres a chance for Judd to really change. The experiences Marty has dealing with Judd and the anxiety that is described mounts to a dynamic conclusion that is not quite predictable, but desired by eager readers. Each of the Shiloh trilogy books has an easy style of writing, one that gives a realistic glimpse into rural West Virginia. We see and understand the struggles Marty goes through and anticipate a happy ending. Sometimes we are left hanging at the end of the chapter, but Naylor wraps up her Shiloh adventure with a satisfying conclusion.

MARTY AND SHILOH
Have you ever heard of the dog that was beaten and abused? Well in my book it tells of a story of a young boy who owns a once beaten dog. This book is about Shiloh and Martys relationship and how they live together. It shows how a poor family lives and how they go through each day being happy. I would like a sixth grader to read this book because Marty is young and a sixth grader would enjoy that. They can relate to the troubles he has at his age. SAVING SHILOH by Phillis Reynolds is a great book for everyone.
The vocabulary of the book is very easy to understand. Though, there are no photos to help you, the book is not difficult. A normal sentence in the book has little hard to understand words such as, "that night when I go to the door to let Shiloh in, I see that light again."
This book can amaze you with its heroic stories and events. Generally speaking, this book is written in a mood that will make you happy. You can tell the book is happy and exciting by this quote,"I lay down on the floor and hide my face in my arms, and that dog goes nuts." The front picture shows you how happy Shiloh is.
This book is written as if Marty is telling an autobiography. It is in first person and it has many adventerous stories. Marty wants you to know about him and his dog and how Shiloh changed so many lives. One event that I read over and over was when there is a huge flood. In the flood Martys little sister falls into the river. Once you read what happens you will deaply cherish this book. To show how happy Marty is with Shiloh, he tells you that every night he gets up looking for Shiloh because he loves him so much. He wants you to see how happy a life can be with a dog.
Families and schools will love the book SAVING SHILOH. It tells you of how Marty and Shiloh live. If you are still young or in sixth grade, please read this great book.

 The End
This is a breath-taking conclusion! Everyone at Martys school is saying bad things about Judd Travers after a series of theft and house break-ins. Theyre even blaming him for murder! When Martys sister Dara-Lynn naerly falls into a river, Marty is too focused on her to see Shiloh rushing down the river. Judd sees it all. Will Judd help the poor Beagle? Or let him drown as punishment for running away from him? Read the book and see for yourself.
