Book Review - Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate diCamillo

Rating: 8/10

Yessum, it's another book by Kate diCamillo. She's arguably one of the best writers ever! She uses the English language in a simple but fun way. Her stories are nice and easily understandable, and they pack a whole lot of lessons!

Because of Winn-Dixie is the story of India Opal Buloni, the daughter of a preacher. She and her father just moved to a new place and she has a hard time gaining friends. Everything changes when she meets a large, ugly dog which she named Winn-Dixie, after the grocery store where she first found him.

It's a nice, heart-warming story but I liked Edward Tulane better. Maybe it's the illustrations... Haha! Anyway, it's still a lovely, lovely book and you'll love it, too!

Oh, and this has a movie starring Anna Sophia Robb! Edward Tulane will also get a movie, I think, sometime this year. EXCITED!
