Esperanza Rising
by Pam Muñoz Ryan
his is one of the
best books I have
ever read. My
favorite part is
when Abuelita comes
to California
because it is
interesting to find
the missing puzzle
piece to the ending.
When Esperanza’s
mother gets Valley
fever, Esperanza
needs Abuelita to
comfort and help
her, but Esperanza
gets frustrated.
Miguel, who used to
be Esperanza's
servant, does a
grand act of
kindness to get
Abuelita out of
Mexico. Esperanza
insults Miguel
saying he would
always be just a
servant, and the
author tricks you
into thinking Miguel
is mad at her. When
Miguel comes back
with Abuelita, it
gives you a mix of
emotions. You are
surprised because
it’s what you least
expect, you have
tears of happiness
because Abuelita is
finally in
California, and
maybe you’re mad at
Esperanza for
calling Miguel a
servant. I
especially like how
the author leaves
you wanting to read
more about Abuelita
coming. A good
author like Pam
Muñoz Ryan makes the
reader wait and
builds suspense.
I recommend this
book to anyone who
enjoys historical
fiction. This
wonderful book is
also available in
the Spanish.. |
