Bookroo's summary
Dyamonde Daniels and her friend Free are thrilled about a poetry contest with a tempting cash prize. But when they discover their classmate Damaris lives in a homeless shelter, their understanding of wealth and poverty is turned upside down. As they grapple with this new perspective, they must decide what truly matters. Will the contest change their lives in unexpected ways?
From the publisher
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.
