Book Reviews of Because of Winn-Dixie (Movie Tie-In)
Book Review: KCS Winn-Dixie
Summary: 5 Stars
When India opal Buloni, the new girl in town, finds Winn-Dixie, the most awesome dog in the world, big things star happening.
The main character Opal is just 10-years-old, when her Father, the preacher, moves her to Naomi, Florida, where he will be taking on the duty of being the new preacher at the Open Arms Baptist Church of Naomi. Opal's Mother left when Opal was 3 years old, and she can hardly remember her at all, which brings Opal down. So she sets out to find out anything she can about her beloved Mother.
I think the theme of this book is to look at the present and the future, not the past. The meaning of the title is the name of the dog that Opal finds at the Winn-Dixie super market. The pacing of this book was just like the others that I have read it starts of slow then goes faster and faster. I think the author's craft is she just wants to make you suspenseful, because when she writes, its always one problem or thing after another.
This book is written from a Christian prospective because the father of India Opal is a preacher; also because there is no swearing or big violence, it is a really peaceful book. The genre is realistic fiction, because this can happen, because someone can find a stray animal any time, they are all over the place. to conclude, this was a wonderful book.

BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE film artwork copyright © 2005 by Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation. All rights reserved.
Because of Winn-Dixie, a big, ugly, happy dog, 10-year-old Opal learns 10 things about her long-gone mother from her preacher father. Because of Winn-Dixie, Opal makes new friends among the somewhat unusual residents of her new hometown, Naomi, Florida. Because of Winn-Dixie, Opal begins to find her place in the world and let go of some of the sadness left by her mother's abandonment seven years earlier.
With her newly adopted, goofy pooch at her side, Opal explores her bittersweet world and learns to listen to other people's lives. This warm and winning book hosts an unforgettable cast of characters, including a librarian who fought off a bear with a copy of War and Peace, an ex-con pet-store clerk who plays sweet music to his animal charges, and the neighborhood "witch," a nearly blind woman who sees with her heart. Part Frankie (The Member of the Wedding), part Scout (To Kill a Mockingbird), Opal brings her own unique and wonderful voice to a story of friendship, loneliness, and acceptance. Opal's down-home charm and dead-on honesty will earn her friends and fans far beyond the confines of Naomi, Florida. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter
