Should he return the dog to its owner, only to have the animal abused again? Should he tell his parents? Should he steal food to help the poor creature? Marty's efforts to cope with these questions provides the moral backbone for this story, which is presented in a language and manner that will be understood by third- and fourth-grade readers. The heart and beauty of this 1992 Newbery Medal winner lies in lessons children will take away with them. 1152585 1991 Shiloh total:2807|5:720|4:951|3:866|2:218|1:52| 2807 10490 3360 288 4 4 false false Sat Jul 12 09:10:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 12 09:11:33 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Wed Oct 29 15:05:15 -0700 2008 Sat Nov 22 21:06:37 -0800 2008 Overall, this was an unbelievable book!
