This was a fabulous book. Once I started reading it, I could not put it down. There is not a single point in the book, where I dislike Opal. Her character is great throughout the whole book. I wish I were able to make friends like her. And Winn Dixie is an excellent dog, I love how he gives Opal that boost of confidence that she might not of had with out him.
I would definitely recommend reading this book.
I think I might need to go see the movie now!

Chapters 19-26
The end of the book has come.
The end of the book is mostly about getting all of Opal's friends together for a party. Opal got the idea from reading Gone With the Wind. Opal and Gloria worked out all the details, and Opal even convinced the preacher to come.
As I got closer to the end of the book, I started to get worried because I really thought something sad was going to happen. And it did. At the party it started to rain, and everyone had to rush to get inside, everyone was so worried about protecting the food that they forgot about Winn Dixie. As soon as Opal discovered that Winn Dixie was missing, her and her father went searching for the dog. They looked all over town and could not find Winn Dixie, Opal was in tears. The preacher told Opal they needed to go back to the house, Opal reluctantly gave in. When they got back to the house, everyone was happy and singing songs, when Opal got inside she discovered that Winn Dixie had never left the house, he just hid really well.
The book ends with everyone singing and everyone happy.

Chapters 13-18
I am really enjoying this book, a lot more than I thought I would.
Chapter 14 is one of the best chapters in this book because it talks about judging people. Ms. Gloria Dump probably says it best "...you got to remember, you can't always judge people by the things they done. You got to judge them by what they are doing now"(p.96). This is true as a teacher too, when you get that child in your room, don't look at what he/she has done in the past, give them the chance to show you who they are now.
In this part of the book, it makes you feel all warm inside because of all the great things Opal and Winn Dixie do. Winn Dixie stands by Ms. Franny's side as she has a fit andOpal wants to read to Gloria.
This was a great part of the book, I can't wait to tell you all how it ended.
