#tbt features Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. Shiloh, published in 1991 was Naylor's 65th book! It won numerous state book awards as well as the Newbery Medal. The story centers on Marty, an eleven-yer-old boy living in Friendly, West Virginia who finds a stray beagle, who was obviously abused. The dog is owned by Judd Travers, Marty's neighbor and town grump. Marty has to return the dog, but he's not happy about it. The story was inspired by Naylor's encounter with a real beagle while visiting friends in Friendly, West Virginia. Shiloh was followed by three sequels, Shiloh Season, Saving Shiloh, and Shiloh Christmas. I have to say, though I adored the book, I was never a fan of the cover, so I didn't choose an image of the original cover, but of a reissue edition.
