Synopses & Reviews
Elogiado por la critica, admirado por lectores de todas las edades, en escuelas y universidades de todo el pais y traducido a una multitud de idiomas, La casa en Mango Street es la extraordinaria historia de Esperanza Cordero. Contado a traves de una serie de vinetas --a veces desgarradoras, a veces profundamente alegres-- es el relato de una nina latina que crece en un barrio de Chicago, inventando por si misma en que y en quien se convertira. Pocos libros de nuestra era han conmovido a tantos lectores.
