About the Book
Dyamonde and her best friend Free compete over everything, from sports and homework to setting the dinner table. They’re so competitive, they even place friendly bets for each scenario! However, after Dyamonde goes on a winning (and bragging) streak, things turn rocky. Free stops coming over and soon, he won’t even return her calls. Then suddenly, he starts hanging out with other kids in the neighborhood. With their friendship at risk, Dyamonde must work to follow her mother’s advice: “Sorry is good, but sorry can’t fix everything.” But what can? Finding the answer proves to be Dyamonde’s biggest challenge, yet.
