Esperanza Ortega tiene todos los tesoros que una chica pueda desear: hermosos vestidos, una linda casa llena de sirvientes en México, y la promesa de que un día llegará a presidir el Rancho como su mamá. Pero una tragedia inesperada destruye ese sueño, obligando a Esperanza y a su madre a escapar a California dónde tendrán que trabajar en una finca junto a otros mexicanos. Allí tendrá que olvidar su pasado y enfrentarse a las nuevas realidades de su vida: trabajo duro, aceptación y dificultades económicas. Esperanza descubrirá que la verdadera riqueza está en la familia y la comunidad.

[Esperanza Ortega possesses all the treasures a young girl could want: fancy dresses; a beautiful home filled with servants in Aguascalientes, Mexico; and the promise of one day rising to Mama's position and presiding over all of Rancho de las Rosas. But a sudden tragedy shatters that dream, forcing Esperanza and Mama to flee to California and settle in a Mexican farm labor camp. There, Esperanza must relinquish her hold on the past as she confronts the challenges of hard labor, acceptance by her own people, and economic difficulties brought on by the Great Depression, and ultitmately discovers the riches of family and community. Pam Muñoz Ryan eloquently portrays the Mexican workers' plight in this abundant and passionate novel that gives voice to those who have historically been denied one.]

Good book, but send 2 copies and charge it twice

This book was assigned to my son as a summer homework, beautiful story for kids and parents too. There a English and a Spanish version of it.

The bad thing was we buy it using my sister in law account (she has prime) thru my iPhone and they send 2 copies, 1 thru my account and the other thru my sister in law account and charge it twice, maybe is a app bug. But amazon refund the money and let me keep both books.

compre este libro para mi hija de 12 años que ya lo abia leido dos veces en la escuela, con esto se puede imaginar que tanto le gusta este libro. Lo leimos juntos y para ser honesto yo no queria que parara de leer. La historia esta bien escrita y el estilo de escribir de la ahoutora hace la historia my interesante.

Buena historia

Me gustaba leer este libro. Estoy en un clase de español y leímos libros también. La mayoría de los libros son difíciles, y por eso decidimos leer alguno mas fácil por una vez. Y así es, pero es interesante y aprendí mucho de la historia de los trabajadores inmigrantes de la Valle de San Joaquín en California.

Well worth the effort of reading

For my sins I read this book in its Spanish version - it was a challenge as there were a lot of oddball words such as the Spanish for potholes that most people were unlikely to know - however I persevered and finished it and was glad - these folk had seriously hard lives, were poorly paid and seemingly weren’t appreciated either!

Excelente libro para niños de 8 años en adelante.

Reviewed in Mexico on December 12, 2019

Verified Purchase

Lo estoy usando para fomentarle el gusto por la lectura a mi hija de 8 años. Está "picadísima", la historia es envolvente. Incluye aspectos sociológicos en forma novelada, Esperanza era hija de un hacendado rico, a su muerte se viene a menos y en el viaje se enfrenta a otras diversas realidades sociales que la confrontan. Es emotivo y poético, además de tocar temas sociales. Buen libro para inducirlos a la lectura y para abrirles los ojos a otras realidades.

El libro me llegó maltratado.

Reviewed in Mexico on October 11, 2020

El libro me llegó roto de la parte superior y lástimado, como se observa en la fotografía, tal vez no se aprecie mucho en la fotografía pero si se ve mal, más cuándo pensabas darlo de regalo.
