Waiting on Wednesday: Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo

Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo. 432 p. Quill Tree Books/ HarperCollins Publishers, May 5, 2020. 9780062882769.

Waiting on Wednesday features Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo. Acevedo's YA verse novel, Poet X, is a TMS favorite. It also won multiple awards and prizes, such as The National Book Award, the Printz and a Carnegie Medal. Her next novel, With Fire on High, was prose. She returns to the verse format in Clap When You Land. This is the story of two sisters, one living in New York City and one in Dominican Republic, who are unaware of each other until their Papi dies in a plane crash. Sounds intense. Clap When You Land will be published in early May. I was a lucky recipient of an arc at Midwinter and I cannot wait to dive in!
