My Shiloh Summary

The grade 5's are reading Shiloh by Phylis Renyolds Naylor for a novel study. In the book Shiloh, there is many emotions. In the beginning,Marty went out in the woods and he found a scared beagle by the old Shiloh schoolhouse. When Marty called the beagle he wouldn't come. He tried again. Still no luck. Marty started walking away and the dog followed. He followed Marty all the way to Marty's house. When Marty's dad saw the dog, he said it was Judd Travers'. So the next day, they took Shiloh(that's what Marty named the dog) back to Judd Travers. That was when Marty found out Judd abuses his dogs. A couple days later, Marty heard a noise that sounded like a dog. Marty knew it was Shiloh. See Judd had taken his dogs hunting and Shiloh escaped. So Marty decided to keep Shiloh hidden. So that was going great until his family kept trying to go on the hill where Marty built a pen for Shiloh. To make matters worse, Judd was getting suspicious about Marty. Then Marty's ma found out. Next is the suspenseful part. Marty was in his room and he heard a cry out in pain. He automatically knew it was Shiloh. He ran outside to see Shiloh lying on the ground bloody and the Bakers' dog running off. The German Sheppard had bitten Shiloh bad. There was a big rip in his ear and his leg was hurt. That's when Marty's dad found out Marty was hiding Shiloh and that Marty's ma already knew this and didn't tell him. In a flash, Marty and Ray Preston were in they're Jeep,driving off to Doc Murphy's. The doctor stitched Shiloh up and told them Shiloh would be fine. Boy was Marty Preston relived. After a couple days, Shiloh was able to go back to Marty's house. Everyone in Marty's house treated Shiloh like a king. Even Marty's dad got rid of the ticks on Shiloh!!!! Then came the second most suspenseful part. Judd Travers went to Marty's house and found out that Marty was hiding Shiloh. Boy was he mad!!!! I would recomend this book because it is very interesting and very suspencfull.
