Esperanza creía que siempre viviría con su familia en su rancho de México: siempre tendría vestidos elegantes, una casa preciosa y sirvientes. Pero una tragedia repentina obliga a Esperanza y a su madre a huir a California durante la Gran Depresión y a instalarse en un campamento para trabajadores agrícolas mexicanos. Esperanza no está preparada para el duro trabajo, las luchas financieras o la falta de aceptación a la que ahora se enfrenta. Cuando su nueva vida se ve amenazada, Esperanza debe encontrar la manera de superar sus difíciles circunstancias: la vida de mamá, y la suya propia, dependen de ello.
Pam Muñoz Ryan retrata con elocuencia la difícil situación de los trabajadores mexicanos en esta abundante y apasionada novela que da voz a quienes históricamente se les ha negado una. "Cuando era niña, siempre asumí que mi abuela había crecido en la pobreza porque las historias que contaba eran principalmente sobre la crianza de sus hijos en campos de trabajo agrícola en California en la década de 1930. No fue hasta que fui joven cuando me habló de su infancia en México. Me conmovió tanto su historia de riqueza a trapos que me sentí obligada a compartirla". - Pam Muñoz Ryan.
Esperanza thought she'd always live with her family on their ranch in Mexico - she'd always have fancy dresses, a beautiful home, and servants. But a sudden tragedy forces Esperanza and Mama to flee to California during the Great Depression, and to settle in a camp for Mexican farm workers. Esperanza isn't ready for the hard labor, financial struggles, or lack of acceptance she now faces. When their new life is threatened, Esperanza must find a way to rise above her difficult circumstances - Mama's life, and her own, depend on it.
Pam Munoz Ryan eloquently portrays the Mexican workers' plight in this abundant and passionate novel that gives voice to those who have historically been denied one. "When I was a child, I always assumed my grandmother grew up in poverty because the stories she told were primarily about raising her children in farm labor camps in California in the 1930s. It wasn't until I was a young woman that she told me about her childhood in Mexico. I was so moved by her riches-to-rags fairytale that I felt compelled to share her story." - Pam Munoz Ryan.

Winner of the 2014 Newbery Medal Holy unanticipated occurrences! A cynic meets an unlikely superhero in a genre-breaking new novel by master storyteller Kate DiCamillo. It begins, as the best superhero stories do, with a tragic accident that has unexpected consequences. The squirrel never saw the vacuum cleaner coming, but self-described cynic Flora Belle Buckman, who has read every issue of the comic book "Terrible Things Can Happen to You!," is just the right person to step in and save him. What neither can predict is that Ulysses (the squirrel) has been born anew, with powers of strength, flight, and misspelled poetry, and that Flora will be changed too, as she discovers the possibility of hope and the promise of a capacious heart. From bestselling author Kate DiCamillo comes a laugh-out-loud story filled with eccentric, endearing characters and featuring an exciting new format - a novel interspersed with comic-style graphic sequences and full-page illustrations, all rendered in black-and-white by up-and-coming artist K. G. Campbell.
