This book is about a girl her name is Opal. Her dad is a priest and he owns a church. One day she is on her way to her dads church she went and told him that she would be right back she was going to the store. When she gets to the store she sees a big dog inside the store and the dog was on the manager and once the dog gets off the manager the maneger says who's dog is it? If it is nobodies dog thats here then I will give it to the pound.So Opal the litter girl says that it is her dog and then the manager says"you better get this dog out of here and never bring it back just leave it outside". Opal said"OK".So on the way home Opal decides she will call the dog Winn-Dixie. When Opal goes home Opal leaves the dog outside and then Winn-Dixi starts barking. Opal's dad said"is that a dog out there"?And Opal says yes I found it.And so then she brings the dog inside and he says"that does not look like a dog it looks like a horse,but he was just joking.So Opal says"can we keep it" and her dad says"NO".And Opal said just for tonigt because it is to dark to go find Winn-Dixi's owner and her dad says "ok just for tonight and Opal said"ok thank you.So Opal takes Winn-Dixi to her room and puts a little spot for Winn-Dixi to sleep. When Opal is getting ready to go to sleep she sees her dad just sitting down on a chair in the kitchen and she goes over there asked him what is he thinking about? He said your mom and she said what did she really look like because you never told me anything about her.And Opal's mom left when Opal was a little girl. Her dad said I don't realy like talking about her and Opal said"please just about 5 things". Her dad said"ok".So the 5 things he said were that she burned water,could luagh at anything,love to cook but would burn everything,and loved you Opal more then anything in her life.And so the nextday Opal and her dad where puting up signs that said lost dog.And about 2 or3 weeks later nobody said that Winn-Dixi was there dog.So then that night they all went to there neighbors house and they were eating and playing songs.And they were outside and when they were about to go inside they couldn't find Winn-Dixi so after about 10 minutes they went looking for the dog and Opal said"it is raining and Winn-Dixi might be scared.So they couldn't find Winn-Dixi so they went back to the naighbors house and said they would go back early in the morning to go look for the dog. So when they went back they were going to pray that they ould find Winn-Dixi. When they were about to pray guess what?Winn-Dixi came back.And Opal was very very happy.And that was the end.........

And thank you
