Summary: 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. With the help of her new pal, whom she names Winn-Dixie, Opal makes a variety of new, interesting friends and spends the summer collecting stories about them and thinking about her absent 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 liked this book because it was one of the great books I ever heard. I liked the part when Opal finds Winn Dixie and gives him a market name.

I thought it was a great book. I read it when I was a little bit younger, though so I don't remember quite everything. I mostly liked it because I love love love animals and it was a cute story. I liked the sweet sad candy, that was smart of the author to add that little something in there. I would recommend this book and I hope other kids enjoy it just as much as I did.
