DiCamillo, Kate. Because of Winn Dixie. New York: Scholastic Inc, 2000. 182 pages. (Fiction)I read a fantastic book! It is called Because of Winn Dixie. The main characters in the book are Opal and her dog Winn Dixie. The problem that Opal faces is that she moved to a small town in Naomi, Florida. She solves her problems by making new friends and still loving her daddy even though her mom is gone. Opal then finds her dog, Winn Dixie, running around in the Winn Dixie grocery store. Opal decides to take him home and ask her dad if she can keep him. Opals dad says yes, and she makes her first friend. After that Winn Dixie and Opal travel around the town and make new friends. They become friends with Ms. Franny, the librarian, Gloria Dump, an old lady, and Otis, who works at the pet store. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read books that are fun and interesting.
