Shiloh

There's nothing eleven-year-old Marty Preston enjoys more than spending time up in the hills behind his home near Friendly, West Virginia.

But this time is different. This time Marty sees a young beagle on the road past the old Shiloh school-house.

Marty feels sure the dog is being abused by his owner. When the dog runs away to Marty's house, his parents say he must bring him back. But it hurts Marty to return the runaway dog to his cruel master.

That's when Marty secretly decides he'll do anything to save the dog he names Shiloh.

Heartwarming story - music was distracting

I loved this story. I am adult and listened to it as a Battle of the Books coach (this title was selected for 2024-25). It’s a very sweet and heartwarming story. I love the themes of caring for other living things, problems that come up when you tell a lie and the repercussions, learning that people are complicated and not all bad, and how to do the most right thing when faced with a problem that doesn’t have an easy answer. The reader was fantastic - I loved his accent to really bring alive the characters and how they would actually sound in the south. The only thing I didn’t love was the random music that would play at certain points out of nowhere. It was distracting to me.

Shiloh

Great for all ages!! The whole family enjoyed listening to this story. It is a great way to read on a long car trip.

Good Children's book

I purchased this book for my 10 yr old to inspire him to read about things he was interested in. I started reading it too & couldn't put it down. It was entertaining & tells a good life lesson too. I thought it might be sad but was glad it had a happy ending & was equally entertaining. My son enjoyed it as well.

Best for all ages

My kids and I use to listen Shiloh audiobook and we all love it!
We all fall in love with our Beagle again after this book.

Thank you <3
