Ages 8-up.Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo is a compelling novel that will take you on a serious ride. This is a top-notch treatment of an award-winning tale. A Tennessee native, she never sounds hokey as she adopts a Southern accent, and she effortlessly slips into a compelling storytelling rhythm. Jones imbues her depiction of Opal with a tone of youthful, hopeful wonder and skillfully transforms her voice to distinguish the other older, life-weathered characters. The dog's "smile" and sweet temperament act as ice breakers that allow Opal to meet a whole new group of friends who grow to be an unusual extended family. Winn-Dixie is soon helping Opal in other ways, too. The pooch, named for their meeting place, becomes a trusted companion with whom Opal can share her thoughts and fears, and her hurt, confused feelings about the mother who left the family when Opal was three. Ten-year-old Opal, lonely in the Florida town where she has just moved with her preacher father, instantly takes a shine to a scraggly stray dog she encounters in the local Winn-Dixie supermarket.
Starred review from ApDiCamillo's debut novel, a 2001 Newbery Honor Book, percolates with heartfelt emotion and eccentric Southern color as superbly performed by Tony Award–winning actress Jones. A stellar audio interpretation of a Newbery Honor book! T.B. Her gravelly voiced blind friend, Gloria Dump her animal-charming, big-hearted friend, Otis her dreamy, book-loving librarian, Miss Franny Block and squeaky-voiced, lisping Sweetie Pie are all memorably and individually created.
Her simple, sometimes not-quite-grammatical, but always humorous, take on daily experiences and profound life issues rings true. Tony Award-winning actress Cherry Jones delivers a superb first-person narration that brings the charming 10-year-old daughter of the Open Arms Baptist Church preacher to life. Motherless Opal and that dog aren't so different, each looking for the comfort of home and people to love them. India Opal Buloni walks into the Winn-Dixie in her new hometown of Naomi, Florida, for a box of macaroni and cheese, two tomatoes, and white rice and comes out with a dog-a mangy, homeless, smiling dog.
