Heck! In the summer I even read “ Horton Hear’s a Hoo” by Dr Seuss, the kind of book I would read when I first discovered the magic of reading some fifty years ago…Įsperanza Rising is the story of a Mexican girl growing up on a ranch in Mexico, where she has servants and pretty dresses, but her world is suddenly torn asunder when her father is killed by bandits and her avaricious uncles take over the ranch. I like to read a variety of books and had enjoyed The Green Glass Sea which Emma had brought to a previous book swap meeting and which was also aimed at children or young adults.
At Tbilisi English Book Swap, Emma holds up this book and says it is fantastic, to which I respond “Ok, I’ll take it!” Emma then informs me I am probably not the target demographic, for the book (10-14 year old girls).
