The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros (Paperback)

Esperanza Cordero is a young girl growing up in a Latino neighborhood of Chicago. Through a series of short, poetic vignettes, she tells about her family, her neighbors, the friends she makes and the people she observes, along with her dream of one day having a house of her own and a life beyond Mango Street.

Sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes joyous, Sandra Cisneros's acclaimed book has sold millions of copies and is taught in classrooms across the country. A modern classic about identity, belonging and growing up, it is a moving read for teens and adults alike.
