Length: 5 hrs and 30 mins

Publisher's summary

A rescued beagle and his boy owner seek love and understanding for their troubled small town in this holiday companion to the Newbery Medal-winning Shiloh from Phyllis Reynolds Naylor.

Christmas is coming and Marty and his rescued pup, Shiloh, are sure glad about that - for their town is low on love and understanding, and they hope that the joy of the holiday will bring with it the generosity of spirit that's so lacking.

It's been a year since Marty Preston rescued Shiloh from Judd Travers and his cruel ways, and since then, Marty and Shiloh have been inseparable. Anywhere Marty goes, the beagle's at his side, and Marty couldn't be happier about that. Even Judd has been working to improve his reputation.

But just as townsfolk grow more accepting of Judd, a fire in the woods destroys many homes, including Judd's, and Judd's newly formed reputation. Doubt, blame, and anger spread faster than the flames - flames that are fanned by the new minister, who seems fonder of fire and brimstone than love and mercy. And why are his daughters so skittish around him? And what's happened to Judd's dogs? With Christmas right around the corner, Marty has a lot of questions, and to get them answered might just take a Christmas miracle.

Phyllis Reynolds Naylor's fourth book in the Newbery Award-winning Shiloh series - following Shiloh, Shiloh Season, and Saving Shiloh - is full of heart-thudding suspense as well as comfort and joy.

good for 3rd grader

My nine year old son loved it. He has listened to all four books. The narration for this and the first were our favorites.

Excellent book!

My son and I really enjoyed listening to this book together! This is an excellent story.

Shiloh

This is my over all

favorite book it is heart warming and so sweet and it is so adorable I hope u read this book it is amazing

This one took me to my eighth Christmas; 1955

It was in the Ouachita mountains in Eastern Oklahoma, and tears of gratitude to an old man's eyes. for these memories of a Christmas with three generations of the family I thank you for the Memories.

following Marty's Adventures through the three previous stories was balanced and elegant, beautiful in its simplicity. I felt like I was following a well-loved ballad or epic poem.

-->. My advice: Slow the speed to 85%,
and listen to a bedtime story with the first story. Then two more ending with "Christmas."

I listened until I grew drowsy, then set my auto-off; 30 minutes was all I could last before sleeping.

Even better than "Old Yeller."
