This 182 paged Newbery Honor, is about India Opal finding a dog at the food store Winn-Dixie. It includes Opal, Winn-Dixie, Miss Franny the librarian, Gloria Dump, and Otis. When Opal feels lonely about her mother leaving her when she was still small, everything changes when she finds Winn-Dixie. His humorous smile and constant wagging tail is just what little Opal needed. She meets another few friends along the way too. Like Miss Franny the librarian who tells stories, and Otis the pet store worker who sings and plays his guitar to the animals. Then, there is Gloria Dump, who according to the Dunlap boys is a witch, but turns out to be a kind older lady ending up to be one of Opals best friends. It is a great story about knowing that you don't need to have relatives to have family, just true friends and a great dog!
