From Booklist
Gr. 7-12. Brackett's lively account, one of the first for YAs on this landmark writer, shows Cisneros crossing borders not only as a Chicana traveling between Chicago, San Antonio, and Mexico and as a woman who defies traditional family roles but also as a writer who makes readers think about what it means to be American. Her classic autobiographical novel, House on Mango Street, published 20 years ago, continues to inspire writers everywhere. Along with information on older books, Brackett includes chapters on Cisneros' acclaimed poetry and recent fiction and on her role as an activist. Accompanying the view of success is a moving perspective on Cisneros' struggle to find her voice and to find a room of her own and the space to write. Full source notes, including references to articles, interviews, and Web sites, will lead readers to more information about the writer who celebrates her "wicked, wicked ways." Hazel Rochman

From School Library Journal
Grade 6-9–While this biography is informative, the writing is dry and uninteresting. The author discusses Cisneros's personal experiences that are the source of much of her writing and explains her efforts to write poetry and fiction. Yet, while the subject's life is full of ups and downs, vibrant and dark circumstances, this book fails to engage readers. It reads like a disjointed list of facts rather than a unified narrative. Brackett cites many of Cisneros's own speeches and writings, and sources are documented. A few black-and-white photos of uneven quality are included. Overall, this title will inform readers about the writer's life, accomplishments, and struggles, and would be used strictly for reports.–Joel Bangilan, Houston Public Library, TX
