The best-selling coming-of-age classic, acclaimed by
critics, beloved by readers of all ages, taught in schools and
universities alike, and translated around the world. The House
on Mango Street is the remarkable story of Esperanza Cordero, a
young Latina girl growing up in Chicago, inventing for herself
who and what she will become. Told in a series of
vignettes—sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes deeply
joyous—Sandra Cisneros’ masterpiece is a classic story of
childhood and self-discovery. Few other books in our time have
touched so many readers.
Characters: 44. Amazon rating: 4 stars. Genre: Young Adult.
