Because of Winn Dixie Movie Tie-In
By Kate DiCamillo
The award-winning bestseller is now a major motion picture from Twentieth Century Fox.
When ten-year-old India Opal Buloni moves to Naomi, Florida, with her father, she doesn't know what to expect; least of all that she will adopt Winn-Dixie, a dog she names after the supermarket where they meet. Before long, Opal and her father realise, with a little help from Winn-Dixie, that while they've both tasted a bit of melancholy in they lives, they still have a lot to be thankful for.

Review
"What a wonderful book for children of all ages. This is a feel good book that you will read in a day because the pages just keep begging to be turned. Expect to laugh-out-loud, cry with sadness and happiness, but above all smile to yourself as you read this wonderful journey." The Southland Times
