Barbara's Note:  This endearing story is told in the first person through the point of view of Marty, a typical 10-year-old boy. It is a rare story of strong family values and has strong appeal for both girls and boys. The dilemma of what to do about Shiloh is age-appropriate and thought-provoking. (Grades 3,4,5,6)
