20. The book Because of Winn-Dixie a great story written by Kate
DiCamillo! It is about a girl who moves to a new city and finds herself a new
pet and an unexpected friend.
It all starts when Opal finds a dog, whom she names Winn-Dixie, and
starts visiting The Herman W. Block Memorial Library. When she thought she
would remain as an outcast, she meets the librarian Miss Franny. However,
dogs may not be permitted into the library so Winn-Dixie must wait outside.
What eased the situation is that he could still see Opal from the window. All of
a sudden, and when Miss Franny sees Winn-Dixie through that library
window, she falls on the floor as she thinks Winn-Dixie is a bear. Opal helps
out Miss Franny and says “Come on. Let me help you up”. After allowing
Winn-Dixie to enter the library, she discusses her past experience with the
bear encounter. They eventually discover that they have a lot of things in
common and become good friends.
I would highly recommend this book because this story is entertaining
and thrilling. I also liked their characters and how they built an exceptional
friendship.
