Recalling the fiction of Harper Lee and Carson McCullers, here is a funny, poignant, and utterly genuine first novel from a major new talent.
The summer Opal and her father, the preacher, move to Naomi, Florida, Opal goes into the Winn-Dixie supermarket--and comes out with a dog. A big, ugly, suffering dog with a sterling sense of humor. A dog she dubs Winn-Dixie. Because of Winn-Dixie, the preacher tells Opal ten things about her absent mother, one for each year Opal has been alive. Winn-Dixie is better at making friends than anyone Opal has ever known, and together they meet the local librarian, Miss Franny Block, who once fought off a bear with a copy of WAR AND PEACE. They meet Gloria Dump, who is nearly blind but sees with her heart, and Otis, an ex-con who sets the animals in his pet shop loose after hours, then lulls them with his guitar.Opal spends all that sweet summer collecting stories about her new friends and thinking about her mother. But because of Winn-Dixie or perhaps because she has grown, Opal learns to let go, just a little, and that friendship--and forgiveness--can sneak up on you like a sudden summer storm.

I like the book because it was funny the first chapter. I did not like the ending because i thought that opal will see her mother and ti will be very happy. I like the rest of the chapters because they were funny when they told the story about how Otis go to jail
I JUST LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just picked up the book and started reading the book and i couldn't put it down for even a second and when i did finish the book i wished and wished that they had made another book or a movie into that 'cause it would've been awesome!!!!!!love ya just read it cause the book is awesome

I couldn't find the English version, so my book review is on here.. Well anyways, this book is about an girl who meets an dog at an supermarket called Winn-dixie. They go through a lot of adventures together, and the girl learns secrets all around her town. I don't really remember the rest...
When Opal moves to a new state she has no friends. One day Opal’s dad sent her to the grocery store and all that changed...get this at a library near you.
Great book that teaches a great lesson...Don't judge a book by its cover!
Cool
I watched the movie and read the book. You can guess that the book was better. Well no wonder this is a newberry book. This was a very touching and great book. I love and praise the author Kate Dicamillo . I also love her other book the tale of Desperuex.
