Because of Winn-Dixie
By Kate DiCamillo
Ten-year-old India Opal Buloni moves to small town Florida with her preacher dad. She's lonely, and thinks a lot about her mom who walked out on them years before. A stray dog befriends India Opal and changes the course of her first summer in her new home...together they meet all kinds of characters who become friends, and by the end of the book India Opal understands much more about her life and her dad and herself. Wonderful and funny and sad, too.
