Becouse od Winn-Dixie

The author owes a joyful debt to Betty DiCamillo, Linda Nelson, Amy Ehrlich, Jane ReshThomas, Liz Bicknell, the Wednesday night group, the Monday night group, and to Kara LaReau, founding member of the Because of Winn-Dixie Fan Club and editor extraordinaire. This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents are either products of the author’s imagination or, if real, are used fictitiously
