I thoroughly enjoyed the first book, and with this follow up book I've discovered new things to love. There is more to Rich, than Dyamonde having a new friend who happens to live in a shelter. One of the books strengths is the dialogue between the friends.ĭyamonde convinces Damaris to write a poem about living in a shelter. The three have great friendship chemistry. Kudos to the author for seamlessly slipping in this wonderful classic) Free gets along very well with Damaris as well. Eloise Greenfield's ' Honey I Love' ( I did a little squeal when I saw this. Dyamonde surprises Damaris with a book of poems. Damaris's family lives in a shelter.Īfter Dyamonde promises not to tell the two become good friends. Dyamonde learns Damaris secret by accident while out shopping with her mom. Dyamonde, is determined to learn more this shy girl, who finally raised her hand. One girl is particular caught her attention, Damaris Dancer. Dyamonde took the time to notice the other students who signed up for the contest. Though her best friend Free is exicted and will try to win the cash prize. Poetry isn't Dyamonde's thing so she won't enter the contest.

The winner gets a check for a hundred dollars. The local library is sponsoring a poetry contest.
