I read Because Of Winn Dixie by Kate DiCamillo.
This book was published by Scholastic® in New York. The Level of difficulty was Just Right because there were not too many hard words and I could understand the text. |
On a scale from 0 being very easy to 10 being very hard, for me, this book would be about a 7 or 8. This book is Realistic Fiction because even though even though it is not a true story it could have easily happened in real life.

India Opal is a girl who just moved to a new town in Florida and is lonely. Her father (the preacher) sends her to Winn Dixie, a supermarket, to get groceries, but comes back with a homeless dog. She wants to name the dog Winn Dixie, after the store she discovered him in. India asks her father to keep him and he agrees. |
Over the course of the next few months, India and Winn Dixie make many new friends, such as Ms. Franny Block, Otis & Gertrude, Gloria Dump, Sweetie Pie Thomas, Amanda Wilkinson and Dunlap & Stevie Newberry. They planned to have a party but something frightening happens… read the book to find out!

I liked this book because it is an entertaining story with a good message and I enjoyed the characters. I liked the characters because they seemed nice and fun.
|
I would have been friends with the characters in real life for these reasons. It is a funny, exciting book. I never wanted to put it down.
|
|
The authors’ message is to never doubt and to try to make the best of what you have.
|
Even though India Opal moved from Watley where all of her friends lived, she made the best of what she had and made tons of new friends.

I recommend this book for grades 3-6 because the story is too intense for younger kids but once you are in 7th grade it will be too easy and you will want to read a more challenging book
|
. I would also recommend this book for teachers to read to their first or second grade students.
