A young girl comes of age on Mango Street in Chicago. This was a quick and beautiful book featuring the innocence and dangers of being  a pre-teen girl. You’ll love this book if language is your reading doorway. It was a series of poetic vingettes about the cast of characters who inhabit the main character’s life in her neighborhood, but it was so much more than that too.
