Clap When You Land

Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo, 417 pages.

Camino and Yahaira Rios, one in the Dominican Republic and one in New York, find out at roughly the same time that their father has died in a plane crash. They find out later, as plans are being made for the funeral, about each other and about the secrets that their father has kept.
Both of these young women must find a way to reconcile what they now know of their father with this new knowledge, and both of them want to see if they can forge a relationship with their secret sister. Another excellent book-length poem by the author of The Poet X.
