Because of Winn-Dixie, by Kate DiCamillo

A book every family should read. From the first sentence and the first paragraph, every reader is captured until the very end. (At least I was, and I am sure Xander and Niko were too!)

Chilren and all readers can learn how desperately lonely many people feel, and how each of us can help to brighten each others' days.

It's the simple things that can bring us happiness, our relationships and how we care for each other can really make all the difference for a happy life or a miserable life.

DiCamillo uses simple, descriptive words to create a world worth visiting; where, because of Winn-Dixie, hearts are opened, lives are touched and families are strengthened.
