(I'm popping by from Erik's blog, by the way. :) ) You're right, this is the kind of novels we wish we'd written. It's sweet and strong. I loved Opal, loved Winn-Dixie, loved Opal's brokenhearted father, and the gang Opal meets. <br /><br />Thank you for reminding me of this book again. Best of luck with your revision!<br /><br />Claudine<br />http://www.carryusoffbooks.com/blog.htmlYanting Guehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04788603550626277974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124298039392938540.post-18300353817583020942012-02-07T21:55:49.951-05:002012-02-07T21:55:49.951-05:00Hole, Shed, Cave, Tunnel, Beach.
