About this listen
Esperanza Rising joins the Scholastic Gold line, which features award-winning and beloved novels. Includes exclusive bonus content! Esperanza thought she'd always live a privileged life on her family's ranch in Mexico. She'd always have fancy dresses, a beautiful home filled with servants, and Mama, Papa, and Abuelita to care for her. But a sudden tragedy forces Esperanza and Mama to flee to California and settle in a Mexican farm labor camp. Esperanza isn't ready for the hard work, financial struggles brought on by the Great Depression, or lack of acceptance she now faces. When Mama gets sick and a strike for better working conditions threatens to uproot their new life, Esperanza must find a way to rise above her difficult circumstances-because Mama's life, and her own, depend on it.
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

El libro que conmovió a millones de lectores. Estimado lector, estimada lectora: Aunque el uso habitual de un texto como éste es describir las características de la obra, por una vez nos tomaremos la libertad de hacer una excepción a la norma establecida. No sólo porque el libro que tienes en tus manos es muy difícil de definir, sino porque estamos convencidos de que explicar su contenido estropearía la experiencia de la lectura. Creemos que es importante empezar esta novela sin saber de qué trata.

Una novela terroríficamente brillante. Tras recibir una extraña carta de su prima recién casada, Noemí Taboada se dirige a High Place, una casa en el campo en México, sin saber qué encontrará allí. Noemí no parece tener dotes de salvadora: es glamurosa, más acostumbrada a asistir a cócteles que a las tareas de detective. Pero también es fuerte, inteligente y no tiene miedo: ni del nuevo marido de su prima, un inglés amenazante y seductor; ni de su padre, el antiguo patriarca que parece fascinado por Noemí; ni de la casa, que empieza a invadir los sueños de Noemí con visiones de sangre y fatalidad.

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world.

Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Story
Sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes deeply joyous, The House on Mango Street tells the story of Esperanza Cordero, whose neighborhood is one of harsh realities and harsh beauty. Esperanza doesn't want to belong, not to her rundown neighborhood, and not to the low expectations the world has for her. Esperanza's story is that of a young girl coming into her power, and inventing for herself what she will become.

heartwarming, engaging, and educational
Through an engaging and heartwarming narrative, the author explores the complexities of the lives of migrant workers. The storyline is so interesting that it makes this a very pleasant way to learn about the time period and cultural situation in which it takes place. The narration is well-performed with distinct voices for each character.

Me encanta
A mi gustaron mucho la historia y los personajes. La narradora hizo muy bien las voces diferentes de cada personaje. La unica cosa que no me gusto fue la musica al empiezo y al final. Pero fue un muy buen libro.

Toda una obra de arte
Escuchamos el audiolibro como familia a la hora de cenar. La trama fue sumamente interesante e inspiradora. Siempre esperábamos con muchas ganas que llegara la hora de escuchar la novela. Como familia mexico-americana que somos nos sentimos identificados con varios aspectos de la historia. Tenemos amigos que trabajaron en los campos de Bakersfield y sentimos que la descripción que hace Pam Ryan es muy acertada en cuanto a las condiciones y experiencias de los trabajadores del campo. ¡Excelente trabajo, Pam Muñoz Ryan!

Translated well
having read and listen to the book in English I was worried that it would not translate well however the translation was right on.
the story is about a young girl who is wealthy in Mexico but due to uncontrollable circumstances she finds yourself in an immigrant work camps. You see the contrast between her life in both countries.

wheres my refund?
when I purchased this audio book off of amazon there was no option of language, so when I purchased it I assumed it would be in English. why the hell would you not give the option of language? and there was NO heads up that I was buying a Spanish book it just said audio. I am unable to return the book so that's a waist of 10$ looking on the audible store I was able to find the English version. my problem is with the system rather than the book. in the modern age of tech why wouldn't you be able to just switch to your language of choice after you buy a book? instead of having to buy the same book twice. please fix this amazon.

Spanish language, don't buy if you don't speak it!
Nowhere does it mention that this book is not in English. Now my ten year old can't understand this. It's a waste of $15.
