Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan 253 pg.

 I read Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan.  I finished this book in April,  2011.  This book is about a young girl named Esperanza.  She lives in Mexico, but when her father died trouble starts to come.  Esperanza and her mother escape to California where they start a new and hard life.

What I liked about Esperanza Rising is that Esperanza changes though out the book.  In the beginning she  lives in a big house and her father own a grape farm.  When her father died she lost everything.   When she escapes to California she has to work on a farm.  At first she is disgusted by it because she is use to slaves working for her.  But she changes and by the end she is kind and works hard.

I really liked Esperanza Rising.  Its fun and it has lots of small problems, challenges and surprises that  Esperanza has to over come.   I would definitely recommend this book to others.
