Because of Winn-Dixie is an amazing book by Kate DiCamillo. Opal, a 10 year old girl is the main character and owns Winn-Dixie. Winn-Dixie is a dog, who Opal found in a grocery store. It takes place in a town in Florida called Naomi. One important thing is when Opal finds Winn- Dixie. It is important because Winn-Dixie made it so that Opal got friends. Another important thing is when Winn-Dixie runs into Gloria Dump’s yard, which lets Opal meet her first friend.
My favorite part of the book was when Opal starts working at the Gertrude’s Pets, because it is very funny. It is funny because Gertrude the parrot keeps on screeching,“dog!”
I recommend the book to ages 8 and older. I would rate it 5 stars.
I also love this book Marlo. I think we have the same taste in books!
One suggestion though – make sure you describe who each character is. If a person has not read the book, they won’t know who Gloria Dump is.

Thanks.
Also, I’m wondering what about this book would be classified as historical fiction. I think it might just be realistic fiction. Historical fiction is something from a long time ago. This book is set in modern times, isn’t it?
Well, it could be, depending on how you think about it.
Marlo, I read this too and I loved it!
