Because of Winn-Dixie

Because of Winn-Dixie

by KateDiCamillo (Author)

Synopsis

From the Winner of the 2004 Newbery Medal - the book that inspired the film! One summer's day, ten-year-old India Opal Buloni goes down to the local supermarket for some groceries - and comes home with a dog. But Winn-Dixie is no ordinary dog. It's because of Winn-Dixie that Opal begins to make friends. And it's because of Winn-Dixie that she finally dares to ask her father about her mother, who left when Opal was three. In fact, as Opal admits, just about everything that happens that summer is because of Winn-Dixie.; Includes 8 pages of full-colour photographs from the Twentieth-Century Fox film, starring Jeff Daniels.
