Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan
4.0
* SPOILER ALERT *
* SPOILER ALERT *
So thia book is BASED OFF OF a true story where there’s a girl that was born 1 month before World War 1 ended in mexico and her father was a rich landowner. Then her father dies, her uncles take over, get all their money, and try to manipulate her mom into marring him. So they leave to go to the USA. They go up up up into california and start working at a camp named sunset camp in Arvin, California. Other things happen but im not gonna tell you read it yourself.
I like it, and I know its a true story but it just seems unrealistic for on her 13th birthday be a rich kid in mexico and on her 14 be a working peasant and barely surviving. Also this was happening at the same time as the great depression but they dont mention anything about that. Dont get me wrong i like it but it just seems like Esperanza’s getting hit after hit after hit. It does get better at the end after someone who ran away saved the grandma from the uncles.
