This critically acclaimed novel tells the deceptively simple story of a 10-year-old girl Opal and Winn-Dixie, the ungainly dog which she adopts.  Underlying the light entertainment of this easy to read story are traced some of life's hardships that today's child encounters - loneliness, fractured families, and one-parent families.
