One of my friends in my class her aunt wrote this book so now we are reading it in class and let me just say this book is A M A Z I N G!!!!!! This book takes place back about 100 years ago in Mexico where there is a little girl named Esperanza her, her mom and her papa live on a winery/ranch (WARNING SPOILERS!!!) but one day her dad dies and his brother tries to marry Esperanza's mom but her mom refuses then the uncle( which is the dads brother I'm sure u get that but anyways) sets there beautiful house and winery/ranch on fire nearly killing them (oh btw the mom gets the house but the brother had the land because back then woman couldn't own land) so her mom fools him and says she will marry him but really her and Esperanza and a couple of I think it was their servants sneak away to america. We are still in the middle of reading this book so this is all I know but so far I love this book. <3

This book is really cool and good. Usually books like this boor me little, but with this book I'm always worried about what will happen to the characters. The hardships they had to go through and how in the end they still had a hard life but they learned to enjoy it anyway breaks your heart. This book is really good.
interesting it says words in Spanish then in english
I love this book. I had to read it as a class assignment. This book is about a girl (named Esperanza) that is rich and does not like the poor. Tragety happens and her father passed away and her house burrned down. She soon becomes poor and moves to america from aguacalentes mexixo.
Not a bad book. Depending of what you like and stuff.
