Saving Shiloh (2006) - Plot & Excerpts

SUMMARY: DOES EVERYONE DESERVE A SECOND CHANCE?Marty's parents think so -- even Judd Travers, whose history of drinking and violence keeps Marty from completely trusting that his beloved dog, Shiloh, will always be safe from Judd."Some people just seem to attract trouble," Marty's Ma says, and Judd attracts the sort of trouble that makes it hard to believe he's really changed. First, the police find the body of a man who'd fought with Judd. Then, a vicious attack forces Judd to kill one of his dogs. But just when it seems Judd will never be able to escape the shadow of his past, a dangerous accident gives him the chance to prove himself. Can Judd Travers actually become a hero?REVIEW: The Shiloh series is an excellent read for upper elementary students particularly boys. This book is great for read-alouds as well and can stimulate discussion about how people can change, second chances as well as making good choices.

This is the final book to the Shiloh trilogy. I have been listening to it in my car. I found it to be very exciting. I would recommend listening to this book on cassette or CD, rather than reading it. The background music heightened the suspense and the reader was excellent. He enhanced the story. I found myself holding my breath a number of times, as I listened. I could see using this book in a classroom as a read aloud, especially listening to it on tape or CD. That alone could be a lesson in the importance of reading fluently. The reader can make all the difference. I didn't like "Shiloh Season," which I also listened to on audio tape, as much. I wonder though if it is because I didn't like the way it was read, or if it was the story. That is something else that could be shared with students. Can a reader enhance a story or does it matter one way or the other?

What do You think about Saving Shiloh (2006)?

A very strong 4 star rating! The third part of the Shiloh trilogy, this book follows the story of Marty, his dog Shiloh, and Shiloh's former owner Judd into deeper waters. Judd is recovering from his broken leg and his heart seems to be healing as well. People are mistrustful of him still, though, especially when a man goes missing and is then discovered dead--a man Judd was seen to be arguing with soon before his death. Judd does some good turns for his neighbors, though, and his true colors are demonstrated in a dramatic end to the story (that I couldn't even read aloud to my son without getting choked up!) This story and its two predecessors are a testimony to the power of small kindnesses and demonstrate what can happen when one loves your neighbor. My son and I loved all three books. Highly recommended.
