The second book in the Dyamonde Daniels series, by bestselling author
Nikki Grimes, is great for fans of the Keena Ford, Judy Moody, and
Magnificent Mya Tibbs series and includes illustrations by Coretta
Scott King honor winner R. Gregory Christie.
Dyamonde Daniel is excited about the local library's poetry contest, and
so is her friend Free. The prize is one hundred dollars, and just think
what they could buy with that much money! But when they find out that
Damaris, one of their classmates, has been living in a homeless shelter,
their ideas about what it means to be rich or poor start to change.
