Esperanza Rising
by Pam Muñoz Ryan
I highly recommend this sympathetic portrait of a wealthy Mexican girl who is forced to flee to the US and become a migrant worker to help support her family. It’s perfect for middle-schoolers. They will be immersed in the love that Esperanza has for agricultural life and the cultural observations she makes as a fish-out-of-water.
