Acclaimed by critics, beloved by children, their parents and grandparents, taught everywhere from inner-city grade schools to universities across the country, and translated all over the world, it has entered the canon of coming-of-age classics.<br><br>Sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes deeply joyous, <b>The House on Mango Street</b> tells the story of Esperanza Cordero, whose neighborhood is one of harsh realities and harsh beauty. Esperanza doesn't want to belong--not to her rundown neighborhood, and not to the low expectations the world has for her. Esperanza's story is that of a young girl coming into her power, and inventing for herself what she will become. 2000351 book 1991 The House on Mango Street total:13961|5:2997|4:4773|3:4164|2:1456|1:571| 13961 50052 16993 1297 5 9 false false Sun May 25 01:05:37 -0700 2008 Sun May 25 01:05:37 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 10 false false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Mar 07 20:18:04 -0800 2007 Wed May 02 07:54:12 -0700 2007 This is another one of those "reading list classics" that I figured I should try.
