by Kate DiCamilloSummary: When 10 year old Opal moves to a small Florida town with her daddy, the local preacher, she begins to ask questions about the mother she never knew. Her daddy, a kind but quiet man, will tell her only ten things about her mother. She's lonely, but when she finds a scruffy mutt in the local Winn-Dixie grocery store, he leads her to many new friends, and helps Opal learn a lot about herself, her daddy, and life.
My thoughts: A sweet, feel-good story with great Southern dialogue.
