Clap When You Land' is a very poignant, sublime and an extremely emotional novel about two
sisters' bonding story who never knew each other until an unexpected
incident shatters their lives, and takes their father away from them. The narrative is written in free-
verse and it is told from the perspective of the two separated sisters. This makes it easy to follow
and understand. It is an intense story consisting of sensitive elements, such as: grief, loss, secrets
forgiveness, betrayal and unstable family relations. The author-Elizabeth Acevedo wrote this novel
to show the world a more intimate portrayal of what it means to discover secrets, family, and to
discover the depths of your own character in the face of great loss-and gain. I would definitely
recommend the book to teenagers, as it covers important topics, and issues that need to be heard!
