Because of Winn Dixie

This was such a sweet story. Opal is new to town and discovers things about people in her town through her new-found dog. Opal also finds new information about her mother that abandoned her. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Kids would love this book mainly because if the great dog and great people Opal meets. Opal and her dog bring the whole town back together. Kids will be able to identify with the characters. This book has also been made into a movie.
