The House on Mango Street is the remarkable story of Esperanza Cordero, a young Latina girl growing up in Chicago, inventing for herself who and what she will become.

Esperanza’s story begins when she and her family move into a house on Mango Street in a poor area of Chicago. Though she welcomes the change and has high hopes, things aren’t as picturesque as she expected. The house is smaller and her neighborhood is racially segregated. As a Chicana, or a Mexican-American girl, her and her family are apart of the Latino neighborhood. From the beginning Esperanza pictures life beyond Mango Street. Since she can’t leave yet, she adapts by making friends and having some good times, like exploring the neighborhood and playing double dutch. As a 12-year-old, struggles with her changing body, as well as adult emotions like grief and shame. Fortunately, Esperanza has writing to keep her company in a world that doesn’t seem escapable yet.
