Because of Winn-Dixie #0848.Ten-year old Opal lives in a trailer park in Florida with her itinerant preacher father. While at a Winn-Dixie supermarket, she claims that a scraggly dog is hers that is wrecking havoc in the store. Winn-Dixie inspires her to challenge her father to finally tell her ten things about her absentee mother, and Opal makes lots of unusual friends in her quirky Florida town because the dog is so friendly. And because of Winn-Dixie, Opal grows to learn about friendship — and forgiveness. But, Winnie-Dixie is frightened and runs away in a storm. Opal and her father rekindle their relationship during their search for him.
