Shiloh Season - (Shiloh Quartet) by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor (Paperback)

About the Book

The second book in the trilogy introduced by "Shiloh", the Newbery Medal-winning classic. Even though Shiloh now belongs to Marty, his worries are far from over. Judd, the dog's original owner, is back to drinking hard and being reckless with his rifle.

Book Synopsis

Marty gets to keep Shiloh! He wasn't able to rescue all the dogs that Judd Travers mistreated, but at least Shiloh is safe . . . right?

Not necessarily, it turns out. With hunting season approaching, Judd has started drinking again, and hunting on the outskirts of Marty's family property. What if Judd tries to take back Shiloh? What if one of Marty's sisters gets in the way of Judd's shotgun? It seems only a matter of time before something goes very wrong.

The thing is, Marty knows a secret about Judd that no one else does, and if anything terrible happens, he will never be able to forgive himself for keeping quiet. Is it time for Marty to speak up? And can he find the courage to do so, before someone he loves gets hurt?

* Taut with suspense, touched by a fine sense of humanity, and narrated in an authentic West Virginia dialect, this cmopelling page-turner will be in justifiable demand."--Booklist, starred review
