Esperenza+Rising

Eaperanza rising

The book is about a girl about 13-14 years old and named Esperanza. Esperanza lived with her mom,dad and grandma on a big ranch in mexico. When one day her dad is out in the fields and gets killed. So after he gets killed they move to california to find work. Their is conflict between her uncle and her mom that is part of the reason they leave to cali. The book theme is drama there is alot of drama in the book. I would give the book a star rating of 2 and one half stars. The book really is not that good. I did not like it all.

The main characters in the book Esperanza Rising were Esperanza, her mother, her father, Tio Luis, Miguel, and her grandmother Abuelita. The setting is in Mexico and California. The plot is that because of her father’s death Esperanza and her mother along with her friend Miguel and his family have to take a dangerous trip to the United States to make a living. The theme is to be happy for what you have. I give the book 4 stars because some of the events take you by surprise and so it keeps you interested.
