Shiloh (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798347120741)

Now with an irresistible new cover for a new generation!

Marty will go to any lengths to rescue the sweet beagle Shiloh from his cruel owner in this Newbery Medal-winning perennial bestseller by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, the first in a series.

Marty Preston is exploring the hills behind his family's home when he chances upon a beagle--and that's when the trouble begins.

The dog is thin and broken but comes right to Marty's whistle. He licks Marty's hand, follows him home, and just like that, squeezes himself into Marty's heart. But then Marty begins to suspect that Shiloh is being mistreated by his owner, and their dream to stay together becomes an imperative.

What is the right thing to do when a dog is being abused--and belongs to someone else? What about when that someone else owns a gun? These are big questions that Marty finds himself faced with, and he soon realizes he faces them alone. Marty puts his courage on the line and discovers it is not always easy to separate right from wrong and that, sometimes, all you can do is try to save the ones you love.
