  6. I dislike this book because it shows that anything can happen to ruin your life. This is definitely not a good message for young children. Anyway why would anyone want to be like esperanza? She is a selfish self obsorverd person who is not grateful anything

    -Im keepin myself secret because i dont want any people beaten up on me

  8. Mrs. Blackwell,
    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Esperanza Rising! It is probably one of the best books I have EVER read. When I first saw the book I remembered when I was in 3rd grade and I saw that book and didn't think I was going to like it! But, as they say "Never judge a book by its cover" so, when I saw it I thought, "UGGGHHH" and then we started reading it and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!!! I definitely dont agree with Anonymous...or as Josef says, Hunter! :) Thanks for sharing this book with us...I loved it!
