Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo (182 pages)

 Summary 

India Opal Buloni and her dad, the Preacher, have just moved to Naomi, Flordia. Opal goes to the Winn-Dixie supermarket for a box of macaroni and cheese, rice and two tomatoes. While shopping, she finds a dog and claims it as her own. When Opal and the dog, whom she names Winn-Dixie, get back to the trailer she introduces her dad to Winn-Dixie. With a dog like Winn-Dixie you never know what might happen next; thus starting an incredible tale. 

Opinion 

This astounding tale has a good message and is hilarious. When Winn-Dixie knocks the store manager down and washes his face with doggie kisses, I laughed out loud as well as when Winn-Dixie smiles a big smile and sneezes. While reading this book, I could visualize Winn-Dixie being my own special dog. If you adore furry friends and fun tales, then try this very unique story.
