"Because of Winn-Dixie" by Kate DiCamillo

One day India Opal Buloni goes to the supermarket, and brings home something that no one would expect. A dog she named after the Winne-Dixie supermarket. Why does she bring this dog home? Because she wanted to save him for going to the pound and she told the manager that that he was her dog. In the beginning she is a little iffy about the dog, but soon she falls for the charming smile, and the great personality. This dog helps her out more than she thinks though. Winne-Dixie helps her meet Miss. Franny Block, Otis, and Gloria Dump. Opal probably would've had a different experience if she hadn't met Winne-Dixie, and she might just help some people along the way.
I give Because of Winne-Dixie 5 stars because it is a charming story full of laughs, and tears. I have read it more than once, and I loved it every time.

" Tornado" by Betsy Byars

If you are looking for a good book then look for the book Tornado. This book is about a boy and his family. One day a surprise tornado hits the farm, Pete tell a story of when he was younger and they had a tornado. During this tornado a doghouse had flown to their yard and when they looked inside they saw a big black dog! They named him tornado. When Pete went with his dad to the town for lumber, a little girl saw the dog in the back of the truck and started calling him buddy. The little girl said that she had lost him in the tornado at the same time that Pete and his family had found Tornado. Pete was so upset. One day when he was doing work in the barn, Pete thought he was hearing Tornado scratching at the door because he missed him so. When he turned around to look to see what was making all of the noise he saw Tornado. Tornado must have run away from the little girl to come back to Pete and his family. When his father saw the dog he told Pete that the dog would have to stay here and not come with them to the town if he wanted to keep the dog. If the little girl found out where he was though he would have to give him up again.

I give this book five stars and think that you should read it too.
