Two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo 'Take one disarmingly engaging protagonist and put her in the company of a tenderly rendered canine and you've got yourself a recipe for the best kind of down-home literary treat. Kate DiCamillo's voice in Because of Winn-Dixie should carry from the steamy, sultry pockets of Florida clear across the miles to enchant young readers everywhere.' — Karen Hesse, author of the Newbery-award winner Out of the Dust A Newbery Honor Book "Brush strokes of magical realism elevate this beyond a simple story of friendship to a well-crafted tale of community and fellowship, of sweetness, sorrow, and hope. And it's funny, too. A real gem." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) A National Book Award Finalist "It deals with the tough issues of death, grieving, and the great accompanying sadness, and has enough layers to embrace any reader." — School Library Journal (starred review) A Newbery Medal Winner "Forgiveness, light, love, and soup. These essential ingredients combine into a tale that is as soul stirring as it is delicious." — Booklist (starred review) "Kate DiCamillo has a gift, inequitably distributed among writers of all kinds, of eliminating the obvious and still egging on the reader. She writes beautifully but thinks simply. The purity of her prose – the reader goes from paragraph to paragraph delighting in the wonderful simple sentences – only adds to the winsome purity of her vision." — New York Times Book Review "One reading is hardly enough to savor the rich philosophical nuances of DiCamillo’s story. I think I will go read it again right now." — The New York Times Book Review A Newbery Medal Winner "Original, touching and oh-so-funny tale starring an endearingly implausible superhero and a not-so-cynical girl." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
