description: Celebrate Kate DiCamillo's beloved, best-selling story with this irresistible movie tie-in!One summer day, Opal goes into a supermarket and comes out with a scraggly dog that she names Winn-Dixie. Because of Winn-Dixie, her preacher father finally tells her ten things about her absentee mother, and Opal makes lots of unusual friends in her quirky Florida town. And because of Winn-Dixie, Opal grows to learn that friendship — and forgiveness — can sneak up on you like a sudden storm. Available in a delightful tie-in edition, here is the original Newbery Honor-winning book that inspired the major motion picture.________Because of Winn-Dixie  film artwork copyright © 2005 by Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation.
