Description
Revisit Kate DiCamillos beloved first novel with a beautiful twentieth-anniversary edition featuring an introduction by Ann Patchett.
This book is (I hope) a hymn of praise to dogs, friendship, and the South, Kate DiCamillo said of her best-selling debut novel, which has been awarded a Newbery Honor, translated into nearly thirty languages, and turned into a major motion picture. The story of a preachers daughter named Opal whose life is transformed by a scruffy dog named Winn-Dixie continues to touch the hearts of readers of all ages. Celebrate twenty years of Because of Winn-Dixie with a signature anniversary edition featuring a redesigned cover, an introduction by PEN/Faulkner Awardwinning author Ann Patchett, and an afterword by Kate DiCamillo.
