Bookroo's summary

Dyamonde Daniel, a spirited third grader with a knack for solving problems, is new in town and ready to make her mark. Her vibrant personality quickly wins over the neighborhood, but one mystery remains: the grumpy new kid in class. Determined to uncover the reason behind his attitude, Dyamonde sets out on a mission to turn a potential foe into a friend. Will her persistence and charm be enough to break through his tough exterior? Join Dyamonde on her quest to unravel the mystery and discover the power of friendship.

From the publisher

“Dyamonde, a third grader, has “wild-crazy hair,” is “skinnier than half a toothpick” and is more than equal to the challenge of entering the crowded field of confident grade school heroines.”–New York Times Dyamonde Daniel may be new in town, but that doesn’t stop her from making a place for herself in a jiffy. With her can-do attitude and awesome brain power she takes the whole neighborhood by storm. The only thing puzzling her is the other new kid in her class. He’s grouchy - but Dyamonde’s determined to get to the bottom of his attitude and make a friend.
