emilygc i like what u wrote its neat.

i only read the beginning it is very descriptive i personally didn't like it so far but if you do, that's cool too.

Este libro puede ser muy triste en algunas partes al comienzo del libro. También tiene destacados en la historia, así por lo que no todo es malo. Esta es una historia impresionante. Tardó menos de un día para mí leer esta historia. Era porque estaba demasiado dedicado a leer este libro.

to english readers she said:This book can be very sad in parts at the beginning of the book. Has also featured in the story, and so it's not all bad. This is a remarkable story. It took less than a day for me to read this story. It was because I was too spent reading this book.

I read this in fourth grade (now I'm in sixth) and truly I love this book! I love the plot and the chapters just make you think every time you end it. She is an amazing writer!

I read Esperanza Rising in fourth grade, it gave me a heartache. It is beautifully written, the author did a fantastic job of piecing together words to create a perfect picture in my mind. Pam Munoz Ryan uses very strong verbs and adjectives. She is a fantastic writer!

Same here! I totally agree! :) I read it in fourth grade!
