review 1: Grimes' work always rings true to the experiences of African-American children living in cities, and Make Way for Dyamonde Daniel is no exception. Transitional fiction is especially lacking in diverse, compelling characters, making this series a welcome addition to any library. The story of a new girl in town needing to navigate the social waters of a new school is one to which many kids will be able to relate.
review 2: Dyamonde is an energetic third grader who moves to a new school and misses her old best friend. She decides to find out why the other new kid, Free, is so grumpy all the time, and they end up friends. Lovely story of being yourself, dealing with changes, and accepting others. Great message, but the character Dyamonde is smart, spunky, asse... morertive, and she carries the simple story along. She is lovable and memorable, and I think 3rd and 4th graders will like her a lot. An alternate selection for fans who have outgrown Junie B, and a "must buy" for our school library. less
