This timeless modern classic byNew York Times bestseller and Newbery Honoree Pam Muñoz Ryan is now a stunning graphic novel! With cinematic illustrations by award-winning artist Andrés Vera MartÃnez, it is sure to engage and excite a new generation of readers.
Esperanza Ortega lives like a princess: She has fancy dresses, a beautiful home in the bountiful region of Aguascalientes, Mexico, and the promise of one day rising to Mama's position and presiding over all of El Rancho de las Rosas.
But a sudden tragedy shatters that dream, forcing Esperanza and Mama to flee to California and settle in a Mexican farm labor camp. There, they confront the challenges of hard work, finding acceptance, and financial difficulties. 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 circumstances--because Mama's life, and her own, depend on it.
Inspired by the author's grandmother's story, Esperanza Rising has been embraced by millions of readers across the world since it first published in 2000. Esperanza Rising: The Graphic Novel is a faithful adaptation that will dazzle fans and is perfect for lovers of graphic novelizations of other award-winning classics such as Anne of Green Gables and A Wrinkle in Time. Brought richly to life with striking, masterfully composed visuals, it resonates with fresh meaning and speaks directly to today's readers.
