Homeschool read-aloud.
Well, I liked this more than my kids did. They thought it was alright and seemed interested enough while reading it, though. I liked seeing how much Esperanza grew over the course of her time in the worker’s camp—and the little hint of potential romance between her and her long-time friend, Miguel. They’ll have some work to do going from such different classes in Mexico to being basically at the same level in the U.S.
