“Dyamonde is a caring, African-American girl who is very friendly and optimistic. She is excited about the poetry contest and the big prize! Dyamonde soon finds out about the challenges her classmate has faced and the importance that money could play in her life. Nikki Grimes helps young readers explore the idea of being homeless and the meaning of being "rich". One of my 4th grade girls, who reads at a 2nd grade level, loved this whole series! She was happy to finally find a main character "like her". Great for students who are ready to start reading chapter books!”
