Does the Dog Die, I was able to read Because of Winn-Dixie. Well, reread it. Because I remember reading it along time ago, but I really didn't want to reread it if Winn-Dixie died. And while I was pretty sure, almost 99% certain that he didn't, I just wanted to make sure. I have been struggling through The House of Small Shadows and it has been very depressing and I didn't need anymore depressing right then. Does the Dog Die is about movies, which I didn't know when I looked at it quickly on my phone but just discovered now. I just found this on goodreads, so that is another good resource for those of you, who like me, subscribe to the No More Dead Dogs way of life.
This is a great story. Nowadays it might seem like every other book for kids is about a girl from the south, without a mother or a father or both, but Because of Winn-Dixie was early on, so you can't get mad at it for that.
What I loved most, not surprisingly, was the relationship between India Opal and her dad, whom she just calls, "The Preacher." I loved that the church her father pastors was welcoming of all, even the stray dog, Winn-Dixie, named after the store. I LOVED Glory Dump and Otis and Miss Franny Block. All lovely characters and lovely people. And they call came together, because of Winn-Dixie.
