One summer's day, ten-year-old India Opal Belong goes down to the local supermarket for some groceries--and comes home with a dog. But Winn-Dixie is no ordinary dog. It's because of Winn-Dixie that Opal begins to make friends. And it's because of Winn-Dixie that she finally dares to ask her father about her mother, who left when Opal was three. In fact, as Opal admits, just about everything that happens that summer is because of Winn-Dixie. This updated edition of Kate Camillo's classic novel invites readers to make themselves at home--whether they're experiencing the book for the first time or returning to an old favorite.
