Book Review: Clap When You Land / Elizabeth Acevedo

I was able to visit the Dominican Republic this summer - at least within the pages of this book. It was a nice trip and I enjoyed it very much.

Camino lives in the Dominican Republic, her father spends every summer with her. 
Yahaira lives in New York City. Her father spends her school years with her.
Their dad dies in a plane crash.
The thing is, neither girl know about the others' existence. 

This novel in verse is about loss. But it is also about family, and love, opening one's heart to new truths.

You can borrow this book from the stacks in the Nashua South library, or from Nashua Public library - they have it in print, but also through the Libby app (both audio and ebook.)
