About this product

Product Information

Esperanza Rising joins the Scholastic Gold line, which features award-winning and beloved novels. Includes exclusive bonus content Esperanza thought she'd always live a privileged life on her family's ranch in Mexico. She'd always have fancy dresses, a beautiful home filled with servants, and Mama, Papa, and Abuelita to care for her. But a sudden tragedy forces Esperanza and Mama to flee to California and settle in a Mexican farm labor camp. Esperanza isn't ready for the hard work, financial struggles brought on by the Great Depression, or lack of acceptance she now faces. When Mama gets sick and a strike for better working conditions threatens to uproot their new life, Esperanza must find a way to rise above her difficult circumstances-because Mama's life, and her own, depend on it.

    Realistic and hopeful

    An excellent read! It is especially appealing for middle-schoolers and those interested in the issue of immigration. Even adults would find it interesting. As a retired Spanish teacher I liked the use of Spanish expressions throughout the novel. Although the story depicts the many struggles and hardships of immigrants, it maintains a hopeful life view.

  • An inspiring heroine in a great story

    Esperanza means hope, and that's what this book is all about. When everything Esperanza knows comes to a crashing halt because of a family tragedy, Esperanza has a lot of trouble adjusting to her new life. Things are no longer easy for her, and she no longer lives a privileged life. When she and her mother emigrate to the United States from Mexico, they find life difficult living in their tent town community. However, Esperanza and her mother start to make a life for themselves, and the result is uplifting. Depressing at first, it's a story loved by fifth and sixth grade girls, and it leads to some great discussions about the "haves" and the "havenots" throughout American History.

  • Quick read

    Quick read-interesting riches to rags journey . I liked that the story was based on some of the authors grandmas experiences.

  • Esperanza Rising

    Great read! My 9 year old couldn’t put it down until she finished it. It was great to see her so excited to tell everyone she came in contact with a play by play of this awesome book!
