Because of Winn-Dixie was written by Kate Dicamillo. The book is about ten year old India Opal Buloni. She lives in Naomi, Florida. Her father is a preacher. When Opal visits the Winn-Dixie supermarket everything changes. A dog somehow gets into the store and causes chaos. When the owners try to throw him out Opal steps up and saves the dog, by saying that he is her dog. She names him Winn-Dixie after the store she found him in. Winn-Dixie helps Opal make friends, talk to her dad, and stand up to Stevie and Dunlap, two mean brothers. Good things happened because of, well, Winn-Dixie. Because of Winn-Dixie is a funny, happy story.
