Cisneros, Sandra. The House on Mango Street.
New York: Vintage Books, 1991. Print.

Every neighborhood has its own rhythm - it breathes, it moves, it talks, it dances...

Little Esperanza's neighborhood on Mango Street sways to a distinct Latino sound. Even the words Esperanza uses to describe her life as she grows up on Mango street vibrate music and poetry with Latino spice.

Come immerse yourself in the sounds and flavors of the House on Mango Street.














Abstract (thanks to OCLC World Cat): "The story of a young girl growing up in the Hispanic quarter of Chicago. Capturing her thoughts and emotions in poems and stories, she is able to rise above hopelessness and create a quiet space for herself in the midst of her oppressive surroundings."
