Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo

Flight 587, which inspired this week's book, was the second deadliest aviation crash in history. It occurred just two months and one day after 9/11 and rocked families from NYC to the Dominican Republic. Today, we're diving into the details of that historic tragedy. Then it's on to our book, a unique novel written in poetic stanzas: A tragedy in the sky forces two girls and their families on the ground to unpack their secrets, carry them across waters, and breathe life into a truth they've desperately tried to ignore. The girls: Camino and Yahaira The book: Clap when you land by Elizabeth Acevedo And you're listening to LIT Society.
