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.

Editorial Review

Esta es la fábula de una niña que tiene que dejar de serlo al perder sus privilegios. Pero también es mucho más. Es la historia de los campesinos mexicanos que vivieron los cambios que provocó en Estados Unidos la crisis de la Gran Depresión.
Con el público juvenil en mente, la escritora estadounidense Pam Muñoz Ryan decidió novelar las peripecias de una chica que emprende un doloroso viaje para descubrir el valor del trabajo en equipo. No solo acerca a su público a la historia de aquellos migrantes de antaño que llegaron a buscar mejores oportunidades, también regala una misiva que, al igual que el nombre de su protagonista, está cargada de optimismo.
Esta versión en audiolibro cuenta con música y efectos sonoros, y es magistralmente narrada por Ruth Livier, famosa actriz mexicoamericana. Su tierna voz guía al oyente a través de las aventuras de Esperanza y sus familiares y amigos.
Situado en la California de los años treinta, cuando casi el 90% de la población era blanca, retrata las encrucijadas que enfrentaron los trabajadores mexicanos de la época. Escrito originalmente en inglés, ha sido texto obligatorio en distintos colegios de educación básica. Ha recibido más de 15 reconocimientos y premios, pues su mensaje es atemporal y promueve el valor de la comunidad— Audible Latino Editor

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.

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!

having read and listen to the book in English I was worried that it would not translate well however the translation was right on.

Lindo libro q relata las penurias de Esperanza y su familia, tras la muerte del padre. Y la familia de sus trabajadores. En los EEUU, todos eran iguales. Inmigrantes. Y no era fácil conseguir el dinero para sobrevivir. Nada q Li muchos inmigrantes pasan hoy.

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.

wheres my refund?
