Published by Scholastic, 2000
 | This is an accurate look into a different
lifestyle, it is well written and uses descriptive, colorful language |
 | The Characters can be related to and evoke a
great deal of emotion. by the end of the book i felt like i was apart of the
story. |
 | I loved the relationships between the
characters in the story and the emotional needs that were meant |
 | Ezperanza deals with a tremendous loss in
her family instead of celebrating a beautiful day. Her, her mother, and some
very close friends of the family have to flee there home because of a wicked
uncle, and the end up in the immigrant work farms of southern California. The
story tells of love, loyalty and growing up in difficult circumstances.
