when you touch down on this soil, you must clap when you land.
Clap When You Land follows the story of Camino and Yahaira as they deal with losing their father in a plane crash. Except, neither of them know the other exists, that they have a sister who is grieving in the same way.
I absolutely loved Clap When You Land. The language was stunning, engaging, and heartbreaking all at once. Acevado has a way with words that just makes you want to keep reading more and more. I loved the developing relationship between Yahaira and Camino, the exploration of messy and imperfect families, especially contrasted with the endless love given by characters such as Tia Solana. This was my first novel in verse, and what a beautiful first novel it was.
This story was beautifully moving and showed that even in tragedy, happiness can be found and there is a silver lining.
