If you are eager to learn the true meaning of “riches to rags” then this book will explain how this particular family can turn from rich with a good life to poor in just a few Weeks. Within this story there is a young Latina girl named Esperanza who lives in Aguascalientes, Mexico with her wealthy family on her family’s ranch called “El Rancho de la Rosas.” She had thought her life would be wonderful forever and that she would always be wealthy. But a sudden tragedy shakes her world and forces Esperanza and her family to move to California. There they learn what it means to be considered “rags” by doing hard work, having bad finances, and more. The main conflict that occurs teaches Esperanza to rise over all of the problems as both her and her family’s new lives are at stake. I would rate the book a 9/10 because this book demonstrates responsibility and how the character overcomes challenges in order to help her family.
