Because+of+Winn-Dixie

By Kate DiCamillo Amazon

At the beginning of the book there’s a girl named India Opal and she goes to the store. The name of it is // Because of Winn-Dixie //. While she was walking down the aisle she finds a dog wrecking the store. The manager asks who was the owner. India steps up and says it’s hers. She said his name was Winn-Dixie and took him home. After India finds the dog she sees if her dad can let her keep him. At first he said no then he changed his mind and said yes. A few weeks pass and after getting the hang of Winn-Dixie around she starts to try and make friends. After trying to make some friends she finds a job to do so she can pay for a collar to put on Winn-Dixie. My favorite part in this book is when India starts making new friends around the neighborhood. My other favorite part is when Otis plays music for everyone at the party. Last, my favorite part is when Winn-Dixie goes and India can’t find him, but he was under the chair sleeping. I would recommend this book to people who like dogs and want to keep them forever. Also I would recommend it to people who would do anything for their dog, and for the people who aren’t scared to meet new people and make friends out of them. -Matthew R.
