The stunning New York Times bestselling novel from the 2019 Carnegie Medal winning, Waterstones Book Prize shortlisted author of THE POET X. 2020 Goodreads Choice Award Winner of CLAP WHEN YOU LAND.
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...
In New York City, Yahaira Rios is called to the principal's office, where her mother is waiting to tell her that her father, her hero, has died in a plane crash.
Separated by distance - and Papi's secrets - the two girls are forced to face a new reality in which their father is dead and their lives are forever altered.
And then, when it seems like they've lost everything of their father, they learn of each other.
In a dual narrative novel in verse that brims with both grief and love, award-winning and bestselling author Elizabeth Acevedo writes about the devastation of loss, the difficulty of forgiveness, and the bittersweet bonds that shape our lives.

Jasbinder Bilan, author of Asha and the Spirit Bird
«This exceptionally talented writer portrays the grief and aspirations of two very different girls with great empathy and insight.»
The Observer
«Interestingly, a number of remarkable writers for young adults (whose work transcends age boundaries) use atypical forms of writing to create outstanding stories that are adored by readers and critics alike. Take Elizabeth Acevedo, for example, whose Clap When You Land and The Poet X use an exhilarating, engaging, free-form novel-in-verse approach.»
Love Reading
«This is a powerful, heart-breaking and compelling novel. There is economy and beauty in the language, demonstrated in an immersive narrative artfully told through verse. The structure and shape of the text adds an essential component to the superb overall quality of the story. The believable characters develop and mature as the story unfolds in this tale of family and unconditional love. An outstanding reading experience.»
