Relation Concering Books Because of Winn-Dixie

Kate DiCamillo's beloved, best-selling debut novel is now available in a paperback digest edition. Kate DiCamillo's first published novel, like Winn-Dixie himself, immediately proved to be a keeper—a New York Times bestseller, a Newbery Honor winner, the inspiration for a popular film, and most especially, a cherished classic that touches the hearts of readers of all ages. It's now available in a paperback digest format certain to bring this tale's magic to an even wider circle of fans. The summer Opal and her father, the preacher, move to Naomi, Florida, Opal goes into the Winn-Dixie supermarket—and comes out with a dog. A big, ugly, suffering dog with a sterling sense of humor. A dog she dubs Winn-Dixie. Because of Winn-Dixie, the preacher tells Opal ten things about her absent mother, one for each year Opal has been alive. Winn-Dixie is better at making friends than anyone Opal has ever known, and together they meet the local librarian, Miss Franny Block, who once fought off a bear with a copy of WAR AND PEACE. They meet Gloria Dump, who is nearly blind but sees with her heart, and Otis, an ex-con who sets the animals in his pet shop loose after hours, then lulls them with his guitar. Opal spends all that sweet summer collecting stories about her new friends and thinking about her mother. But because of Winn-Dixie or perhaps because she has grown, Opal learns to let go, just a little, and that friendship—and forgiveness—can sneak up on you like a sudden summer storm.

Notice Out Of Books Because of Winn-Dixie

Because of Winn-Dixie is such a beautiful and enchanting book. I loved reading this with my daughter. I am glad she was a little bit older when we read it (I think she was about 8) as it may have been a little heavy for her if she had been much younger. Although it I guess it depends on the child.Young Opal has just moved to Florida with her father (a preacher) and is lonely for her mother who left the family seven years before. On a trip to the supermarket (Winn-Dixie) she rescues a dog getting

I have never had any interest in reading this book or seeing the movie. Imagine my surprise when the library movie/book group I belong to chose this at the one meeting I miss! I am so happy they did! Im no stranger to YA or childrens literature so dont know what my reluctance was about. I think I imagined sap, sap, more sap and side of sap. This was NOT sappy!The story reminded me quite a bit of Billie Letts writing. People in the world are weird, quirky, unique and wonderful. The more people we

I think this is the year that I have discovered young adult and middle grade fiction as a genre full of quality books.

Lonely for the last seven years

Read the text and listened to the audio again. In the first time, I listened to the audio in 0,8 velocity, but now I listened to it in 1,2 to training and improving my English. (January 23, 2019)I read this book in just one sitting listening to the Scribd's audio. This story is sweet, heartbreaking and heart-wrenching. (January 6, 2019)

My 10 year old granddaughter Clara has decided to join a book club this year. They are going to meet once a month before school starts for the day, and she asked me if I wanted to join the club too and attend the meetings with her. Guess what my answer was?

Granddaughters + Books = Heaven!Because of Winn-Dixie is the selected book for this month. I could cry because the

A lovely book. There were a lot of beautiful messages in this story, important to read as a child but just as important to be reminded of as an adult. I can't really say what they were without giving away the plot, but they were conveyed in a really nice, natural way.

India Opal and her father, the preacher, have moved from Watley to Naomi, Florida. Opal had to leave all her friends behind and shes adapting to living in a new place. Her mother has abandoned her and shes feeling very sad and lonely. Her father preaches at a church he opened that was previously a convenience store. He works too much and he struggles to move forward as he misses Opals mom so much. Opal wishes she had a better relationship with him. She hasnt found very many new friends yet.
