Summary: 3 Stars
Esperanza's life isn't perfect. She lives in a stinky old house on Mango Street in the bad part of Chicago, and doesn't have many friends. Her parents don't really care about her, and she has a really hectic life. Esperanza just wants to get out of that old house and have a "normal" life like Sally and her friends from school. She is scared that one day she will die because there is so much violence where she lives. Even though Esperanza has a good education and likes her school, she is lonely and wants to meet new kids so she can talk about life.
One day her dream comes true. She meets a girl named Sally. Sally lives on Mango Street with her, and has tons of boyfriends. Is Sally true friends with Esperanza or is she becoming friends with Esperanza because she feels bad for and wants a better reputation as the nice girl?
When I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down. Sandra Cisneros uses great techniques to describe and show the struggles of a teenager growing up in a bad neighborhood. Also, she has a great theme of never judging a book by its cover. This is one of my favorite books of fiction, and I would recommend this to teenagers and adults.
