Our Book Reviews on Shiloh


If you like realistic  fiction  you will like  Shiloh. This book shows that sometimes it is ok to lie because It can be saving somebody  because  Judd could  have killed Shiloh. And sometimes you should not lie. The climax of the book is something  I did not  suspect. Shiloh is a good teaching book. In  the  end Marty gets Shiloh

Matthew and Nathan


I kind of like  it and  my favorite part is when climax happened. I’m a little sad when Shiloh gets attacked by the bakers dog . If you like dramatic stuff you will like this book. Also if you like animals you will love this book like crazy! This book has an amazing story to read that you will probably like. It has good details and I think you should read it!

                                                                 I LOVE SHILOH
I recommend it because it is a realistic story the author got  it from raw material like in the woods were Marty found Shiloh. I like Shiloh because it is saying always tell the truth and never lie. I recommend this book  because when your reading the book Shiloh you can see it happening in your mind. I recommend this book  because in this book gives you a good story of the characters . The author is talking like “lookin” because she wonts you to hear how they talk. So go get the book Shiloh.IT IS  GREAT!

                                                       My Review About Shiloh
                       I think other people should read Shiloh because it is a interesting story. My favorite part about this is when Shiloh gets attacked by the Backers dog, because it gets you worried about if he is gets to live or dies. I think it is interesting because there is a lot of big events in the story lie when Marty was walking over to Judd’s place but Judd and Marty met in the woods when Judd did something illegal and Judd was doing night hunting and what made it illegal was that he shot a doe. One of the big events in the story that Marty’s mom finds Shiloh being hide. I also think it mostly interesting because there is some suprizing things that happen in the story.
Mason and Kyle
 
If you like dogs you might want to read Shiloh. But if you hate blood there is no picture in it so you don’t have to see it. Also if you like chapter books you can read it. If you read Shiloh you will learn not to lie. If you like helping each other then read this book.
