I am currently reading a book called 'Because of Winn Dixie'. I chose this book because the author won the Newbery Honor Book. It wasn't that good as I expected but I learned some lessons I should know.The main character, Opal, accidently met a wandering dog in a supermarket. The dog was running all around the supermarket and messed up everything. The owner and sellers tried to catch him but they couldn't. Opal lied to the owner that the dog belonged to her. To her surprise, the dog followed her very well. And that was the first time they met each other and I think the author showed the main characters in a really fun way unlike the most authors.
Opal named her new dog 'Winn Dixie'. After they met each other, they had lots of fun at that summer. Almost everything in that summer happened because of Winn Dixie. And I think that is the reason why a title of this book is 'Because of Winn Dixie'.
I quite enjoyed this book even though this wasn't that good as my expectation. But I learned some important lessons such as 'Don't give up', 'Be brave' and else.
P.S I will give 3 stars out of 5 stars and the author of this book is Kate DiCamillo

Young Woo, you say that the author showed the main characters in a really fun way. How did the author do that? Can you give some examples? I have never read the book either, but I have heard of it. Would you recommend it for me?
Yes, this is an award winning book, but you didn't like it quite to the ***** level. That's ok, you gave it a try and enjoyed it fairly well.
Maybe you just are not the type for books centered so much on an animal. Could that be possible?
