Books

Today I'm going to start book reviews. Now you can ask me about books and i will read them and i will comment them. A book that you should read though is Because Of Winn-Dixie written by Kate DiCamillo. It is about a ten year old girl named India Opal Bulino who finds a dog, that is lost in a grocery store which the name of the store is Winn-Dixie. The manager of the store thinks the dogs is awful and almost called the pound, but India could NOT watch a dog go to a pound, so she said the dog was hers.She didn't know the dog's name, so she said "Come here Winn-Dixie"  three or four times, and he came. That day she named him Winn-Dixie. She just moved into to a town with "The Preacher" who is her dad because when she was a little girl her mother left her and her dad. She would always talk to Winn-Dixie to about her mom, and how she missed her and Winn-Dixie must miss his owner. India Opal is trying to make new friends in the new town she lives in. She thought it would be impossible until she makes wonderful friends because of Winn-Dixie. This heart warming story is just wonderful and sad at the same time. That dog can smile at others and i hope it he  can certainty smile at you too.

  1. When I lived in Florida we had Winn-Dixie stores. So this story must take place in the south? Do you own the book?
