this book is in the school

A great book had to read it for school

I read this book because it was a class assignment.I really like this book. it is the best

I read this book becauseI had to.But now I know it is a good book.In the book Esperanza's father dies.Her uncles are very mean. they blew up her house.I liked the book!

I really loved that book, it actually talks about how Esperanzas father dies and her uncles burn her house, cool.

The reason why I read the book because it bring history and stuggles they had to face. Luike there papa dieing and haveing to move to USA

I thought that the book was pretty good. First it was sad that Papa died before Esperanza's birthday. I liked the end when Esperanza told the same lesson her grandmother told her to Isabella.

I read this book with my class at first i thought then it got interesting when esperanzas dad died and when his brothers took over.

I really love it.

I think this book makes life look a lot realer. The uncles are mean, burning the house which is cruel. The Abuelita has a long journey.
