Clap When You Land

Elizabeth Acevedo is one of the authors that I will drop everything else and read. This book was worth that and so much more. After The Fire on High, I didn't think I could love a character more than I love Emoni.
Then I was introduced to Camino and Yahaira. These two girls are so amazing. Their stories are compelling and emotional. These girls and those around them are complicated and full.
I am in awe of how much plot and emotion and culture and suspense Elizabeth Acevedo stuffed into these few words. In fact, there are a few words in this book that left me speechless. The end was hopeful and emotional.
I am doing a bad job reviewing this book, but it is just so good! Stop everything you are doing and read this.
