The House on Mango StreetThe House on Mango Street

Acclaimed by critics, beloved by readers of all ages, taught everywhere, from inner-city grade schools, to universities across the country and translated all over the world, The House on Mango Street, is the remarkable story of Esperanza Cordero. Told in a series of vignettes, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes deeply joyous, it is the story of a young Latina girl growing up in Chicago, inventing for herself, who and what she will become. Few other books in our time have touched so many readers.
