Even as a middle school teacher, Steve Jenkins is definitely a nonfiction writer who is on my radar. Thanks for sharing these. I am a fan of Esperanza, too. It just occurred to me that there are some similarities between that book and Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse (the fact that both protagonists are young girls who encounter hardship upon hardship, perhaps).Christy Rush-Levinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581876400990779210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-35545698264260148292013-03-04T20:10:22.553-07:002013-03-04T20:10:22.553-07:00Yes, you are right!
