Shiloh is written in first person in the voice of eleven-year-old Marty Preston. Marty lives in rural West Virginia, and his speech patterns make that very evident. This is a great opportunity to analyze how an author can use a local dialect to shape a character.
In the story, Marty rescues a dog that is being brutally mistreated by his owner.

The villain in this story is Shiloh’s owner, Judd Travers. Judd is a really dreadful person, but Naylor helps both Marty and the reader find compassion for him by giving us a glimpse into his past and by giving him a small amount of humanity near the end of the story.
