This book is inspiring. I would recommend it to those who are in a situation that to them seems impossible.

This book is amazing!!! I love it!!! 😍
An amazing and emotional book. The story shows how Esperanza grows and matures to become a strong & wonderful person.
An emotional story when a girl named Esperanza life is taking turns into a dark place when she is very young. Very great book also teaches you a lesson why you should be grateful for the things you have in your life.
This book was pretty good. I like how it hard for Esperanza to do it. When her mom got very sick for 5 months I though she wouldn't make it but she did. In my head I felt bad for Esperanza but she is a strong one
I read this book with my mom and my friends. I was like this book is so good. I could not stop reading it. It pulled my heartstrings but it just kept getting better. No matter how good it was, every single chapter steps up 100 percent.
Her father has suddenly been killed by bandits....on her birthday...and now her mother has to marry their uncle, Tio Luis which they all hate. She suddenly has to escape as a peasant, to america with her mom and others. Her grandmother has to stay behind because of her cuts when they woke up to a fire. She escapes and finds out that the boys have brought the roses in relation to her father. Esperanza has trouble with accepting the peasant life. Her friends and mom help her and the story ends with Esperanza meeting her grandmother again.
Esperanza Rizing is an amazing book! It is about a rich girl in Mexico named Esperanza that loses her father the day before her birthday. Esperanza, her mother and their servants leave Mexico and into the United States of America to work in the fields..
this sounds like a really good book. I love historical fiction books. they always inspire me.
When Esperanza's father abruptly dies, all of her family's money disappears. Now she and her mother must go with her father's friends's families to work in a plantation, while she struggles to adapt to the hard work. I would recommend this for ages 9+ This book was really enjoyable and it was nicely lightly sprinkled with romance. I liked how the author displayed life on the plantations really well. because while I was reading this, a picture appeared in my mind. I would definitely recommend this.
