Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo
4.0
I enjoyed this a lot, but as an adult reading it there were a few things I would nitpick.
1. The father/Preacher and mother of the Dewberry boys both reinforce the idea that being mean to someone is a way to show you want to be friends. Opal is forming a lot of positive relationships in her town, even if the age-appropriateness is questionable. The Dewberry boys did not need to be defended.
2. Gone with the Wind being read aloud to a character described as having dark brown skin irked me, even if it was a friendly/innocent interaction.
