A classic tale simply by Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo, America’s beloved storyteller.

One summer’s time, ten-year-old India Opal Buloni goes down to the local supermarket for some groceries-and comes home with a pet dog. But Winn-Dixie can be no ordinary doggie. It’s due to Winn-Dixie that Opal begins to make friends. And it’s because of Winn-Dixie that she finally dares to inquire her dad about her mom, who still left when Opal was three. Actually, as Opal admits, almost everything that occurs that summer is due to Winn-Dixie.
