미국에서 가장 권위있는 아동문학상인 Newbery Medal을 수상했으며, 미국 교사추천 100대 도서에 선정된 필독도서 Shiloh의 4부작 중 첫번째책입니다. 미국의 초등학교 어린이들중 이책을 읽지 않은 어린이가 거의 없을 정도로 미국에서는 필독서로 여겨지는 매우 유명한 책입니다.
술주정뱅이 주인의 학대를 피해 탈출한 강아지 샤일로와 어린 소년 마티의 우정, 그리고 흥미진진한 모험 이야기입니다.
어느 날 마티 프레스톤은 집 뒤에 있는 언덕을 걷다가 어린 비글 개를 발견합니다. 마티는 첫 눈에 그 개를 사랑하게 되지만, 그 일은 마티에게 갈등과 혼란의 시작입니다. 마티가 샤일로라고 이름 붙여준 그 개는, 술주정뱅이인데다 개들을 학대하는 사냥꾼 져드 아저씨의 개이기 때문입니다. 자꾸 마티에게 도망쳐 오는 샤일로를 지켜주고 싶지만, 남의 개를 몰래 숨겨 주는 것은 나쁜 일이지요. 개를 키울 수 없는 집안 형편과 샤일로를 보호하고 싶은 마음, 그리고 샤일로를 쫒는 져드 아저씨 사이에서 마티는 어떤 결정을 내릴까요? 열한 살 소년에게는 너무 어려운 일입니다. 마티는 이런 힘든 갈등과 환경을 이기고 샤일로를 구할 수 있을까요?
작가 필리스 레이놀즈 네일러는 어느 날 직접 비오는 날 보게 된 학대 받은 떠돌이 개를 보고 이 책을 씁니다. 하지만, 이 책은 단순히 한 소년과 개의 이야기가 아닙니다. 열한 살 소년이 ‘샤일로’라는 개를 구하기 위해 겪는 도덕적 갈등과 인간의 선하고 악한 두 가지 본성에 대한 고찰을 감동적으로 그리고 있습니다. 소년 마티도 이런 갈등과 혼란을 스스로 해결해 가면서 사랑과 이해, 배려를 알게 되고 성장합니다. 이 책을 읽다보면, 틀림없이 스스로 마티가 되어 함께 고민하고 행동하게 될 겁니다. 그리고 마티만큼 성큼 자란 자신을 발견하게 될 것입니다.

Book Description
When Marty Preston comes across a young beagle in the hills behind his home, it's love at first sight -- and also big trouble. It turns out the dog, which Marty names Shiloh, belongs to Judd Travers, who drinks too much and has a gun -- and abuses his dogs. So when Shiloh runs away from Judd to Marty, Marty just has to hide him and protect him from Judd. But Marty's secret becomes too big for him to keep to himself, and it exposes his entire family to Judd's anger. How far will Marty have to go to make Shiloh his?
The New York Times Book Review
Written in a comfortable, down-home style and set in a believable dirt-poor Bible Belt countryside.
School Library Journal
Marty Preston, 11, is a country boy who learns that things are often not what they seem, and that adults are not always "fair" in their dealings with other people. Marty finds a stray dog that seems to be abused and is determined to keep it at all costs. Because his family is very poor, without money to feed another mouth, his parents don't want any pets. Subsequently, there is a lot of conflict over the animal within the family and between Marty and Judd Travers, the dog's owner. Honesty and personal relations are both mixed into the story. Naylor has again written a warm, appealing book. However, readers may have difficulty understanding some of the first-person narration as it is written in rural West Virginian dialect. Marty's father is a postman--usually one of the better paying positions in rural areas--yet the family is extremely poor. There seems to be an inconsistency here. This title is not up to Naylor's usual high quality.
Publishers Weekly
In the tradition of Sounder and Where the Red Fern Grows comes this boy-and-his-dog story set in rural West Virginia. When he finds a mistreated beagle pup, 11-year-old Marty knows that the animal should be returned to its rightful owner. But he also realizes that the dog will only be further abused. So he doesn't tell his parents about his discovery, sneaks food for the dog and gets himself into a moral dilemma in trying to do the right thing. Without breaking new ground, Marty's tale is well told, with a strong emphasis on family and religious values. This heartwarming novel should win new fans for the popular Naylor.
Kirkus Reviews
A gripping account of a mountain boy's love for a dog he's hiding from its owner. Marty, 11, tells how Shiloh, the runaway, first caught his heart; still, his bone-poor West Virginia family has a strong sense of honor, and the dog is returned to its owner. After it runs back to Marty, he hides it in the woods. As Marty's structure of lies to his parents compounds, the villainous owner circles closer. By the time Judd finds Shiloh, the whole family is compromised and the dog has been injured. Marty does get the dog, partly by another lie of omission: he blackmails Judd when he finds him poaching and makes a deal to work for Judd to pay for the dog, but tells his parents another version. Fine lines are explored here: How necessary is it to adhere to the strict truth? ``What kind of law is it...that lets a man mistreat his dog?'' Has the dog been ``saved'' if this leads to its injury? Marty concludes that ``nothing is as simple as you guess--not right or wrong, not Judd Travers, not even me or this dog.'' Meanwhile, young readers will rejoice that Shiloh and Marty end up together. |
