Story

Opal went to the grocery store called Winn-Dixie to buy something to eat. But there was a bis mess because of a dog. When the employees of Winn-Dixie wanted to call the pound, Opal sait it was her dog and she called it Winn-Dixie (like the store) and took it home.
The girl had just moved to the town, because her father got a job as a preacher there. Therefore, Opal didn’t have any friends. But because of Winn-Dixie, she met many nice people, made a lot of friends and also got a job in a pet shop. The dog gave her also courage to ask her father about her mother. He has never told her anything about her.
The book is called “Because of Winn-Dixie“, because in Opals life a lot changed because of the dog.

I liked that the book was written in a simple language and that it has a vocabulary part.
