This is a series of interconnected short stories about a girl named Esperanza and her new neighborhood that she moves to with her family, on Mango Street. This is Sandra Cisneros' first book and is fit for young adults as well as grown-ups. I read this a couple of years ago for a college assignment and many times since then; I absolutely love this book. It is a very good book and makes a few points about growing up female and Latina in the United States. Short and easy to read with chapters of only a page or two.
