Saving Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

5.0

---

This one was a bit hard to go through, because it is for the most part, a stressful read. Marty is experiencing some vivid feelings about the definitions of right and wrong, and all the grey areas in between. After growing up in a Catholic country, often surrounded by self-righteous children with only a regurgitated understanding of religion, I strongly related to Marty's feelings, which also reminded me of many unpleasant experiences like the ones he faces. I commend Phyllis Reynolds for expertly communicating that inner turmoil on paper, it's as if we could all read directly into the mind of an 11 year old boy.

Real wholesome story overall.
