House on Mango Street by Sandra CisnerosMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the sweet story of Esperanza, a young Latina girl living in a poor neighborhood of Chicago. Told in a series of vignettes, The House on Mango Street is aimed at young readers and is a coming of age story. Cisneros is lyric in her prose and the reader gets sucked into Esperanza's life from the first page.
This is a great book for young readers, especially those of Latina / Latino descent.
