Dyamonde's best friend, Free, has his eye on winning a poetry contest's cash prize. But shy classmate Damaris, who lives in a homeless shelter, is the real poet, and her growing friendship with Dyamonde helps them all redefine their ideas about wealth. Matter-of-fact discussions of homelessness and job loss make this chapter book a timely addition.
