Synopsis
Shiloh belongs to Marty now, but the boy still can't trust his dog's original owner. Judd is back to drinking hard and being reckless with his rifle. Marty fears that Judd might have a new hunting target this season: Shiloh. "Marty's voice is consistently strong and true.... Shiloh fans will be well served by the sequel". -- Horn Book
Synopsis
Marty gets to keep Shiloh He wasn't able to rescue all the dogs that Judd Travers mistreated, but at least Shiloh is safe . . . right?
Not necessarily, it turns out. With hunting season approaching, Judd has started drinking again, and hunting on the outskirts of Marty's family property. What if Judd tries to take back Shiloh? What if one of Marty's sisters gets in the way of Judd's shotgun? It seems only a matter of time before something goes very wrong.
The thing is, Marty knows a secret about Judd that no one else does, and if anything terrible happens, he will never be able to forgive himself for keeping quiet. Is it time for Marty to speak up? And can he find the courage to do so, before someone he loves gets hurt?
