Because of Winn-Dixie
Last year this my students favorite book and mine as well. This story touches the heart of everyone who has ever loved a dog. The main character Opal has just moved, finds herself lonely and in a need of a good friend. Lucky for her she Winn-Dixie found her, but all she needs to do now is convience her "no-animals" dad to let her keep him.
I have not read this book yet, but I have read The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate Dicamillo. If you have not had the chance to read it, I highly recommend it!
