Clap When You Land

Product Information

The sister relationship also has a lot of potential to be explored more deeply, but we barely got to see them spend much time interacting with each other and coming to terms with one another. I wish more time had been devoted to the relationship between the two protagonists rather than spending 2/3 of the book reading a repetition of their same reactions. This is so intense story consisting sensitive elements like sexual assault, grief, plane crush, betrayal, dysfunctional family dynamics. Sometimes you feel the burning sensation coming from your heart during your read and you want to stop for taking few breaths because the characters already conquered your soul and it’s so natural to ache and deeply care for them. But at the end: all those suffering and emotional stress you endured are truly worth it because this is unique and beautiful sisterhood story brighten your mood and it is one of the best young adult fiction novels of the year.

Camino Rios lives for the summers when her father visits her in the Dominican Republic. But this time, on the day when his plane is supposed to land, Camino arrives at the airport to see crowds of crying people.... Elizabeth Acevedo and her words are something else. Something special that is needed and I’m so grateful that it’s out there. In book form no less as well. Since the year my mother died, I’ve always answered:

To start with, I’m going to handle the developing style. I initially evaluated Acevedo’s publication With the Fire on High, in addition to you can examine my assessment of that book right here. I genuinely valued it, and I valued her characters and likewise genuinely valued the female lead character’s voice. She was hot and likewise clever and likewise independent. Clap When You Land is composed as a special in verse, which implies that although it looks like it’s going to be relatively the job to have a look at, in truth it simply took a number of hrs. I tore through that point.
