This story is about the Mexican girl named Esperanza who is living a wealthy life. She has her loving parents, a big house and a garden. But Mexican revolution broke out and her father is killed by the riots. Suddenly, her uncle take away her family’s wealth and money and her house was burned by the mysterious fire. So, Esperanza and her mother moved to California. Can Esperanza go back to her home country?
I think this book is pretty good because, it’s a book of mystery and history. If it was just a book about history, it must have been very boring, but by adding the mysterious cases and clues, the author Pam Munoz Ryan made a great historic novel.
I think I can give 4 out of 5 stars because even though it was a good book, but some parts were boring because of appearance of various characters and many turning points and event. I recommend this book to the historians in our grade or the mystery readers because, this book is a historical fiction, based on real history but, formed with a mystery trail.
I was just wondering if Esperanza Rising is Historical Fiction.
ReplyDeleteI think that it would be more like a Realistic Fiction
