House on Mango Street - Cisneros
Try-- Sandra Cicseros
I would recommend The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros. The
book is a series of short vignettes that deal with contemporary coming
of age issues. Well written!
I recommend House on Mango Street.
Nancy: I enjoyed /The House on Mango Street/ by Sandra Cisneros years
ago when I read it for my own enjoyment.

I have two books in my short story collection that are full of different stories by
Latino authors. Maybe you could check out the stories in these. An Island like
You: Stories of the Bario by Judith Ortiz Cofer, and Riding Low on the Streets of
Gold edited by Judith Ortiz Cofer.
