Esperanza doesn't want to belong - not to her run-down neighborhood, and not to the low expectations the world has for her. Sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes deeply joyous, The House on Mango Street tells the story of Esperanza Cordero, whose neighborhood is one of harsh realities and harsh beauty. Acclaimed by critics, beloved by children and their parents and grandparents, taught everywhere from inner-city grade schools to universities across the country, and translated all over the world, The House on Mango Street has entered the canon of coming-of-age classics even as it depicts a new American landscape. Synopsis: (from the publisher) Here is Sandra Cisnero's greatly admired and best-selling novel of a young girl growing up in the Latino section of Chicago.
