Esperanza Rising is about a girl who is forced to leave her ranch in Mexico and flee o California. The story takes place during the Great Depression and Esperanza and her mother must stay at a camp for Mexican farm workers. Throughout the story she has a hard time transitioning from the life she has in Mexico with money, nice clothes, and a beautiful home to doing hard work. Throughout the story she tells about how Americans view her and her family and the difficult times that her family goes through.
I believe that Esperanza Rising should be in every school library media center because it teachers about the hardships some go through financially and of being of a different race.
