The stunning new novel in verse from the 2019 Carnegie Medal winning and 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.
Papi's death uncovers all the painful truths he kept hidden and the love he divided across an ocean. And now, Camino and Yahaira are both left to grapple with what this new sister means to them and what it will now take to keep their dreams alive.
In a dual narrative novel in verse that brims with both grief and love, award-winning and best-selling Author Elizabeth Acevedo writes about the devastation of loss, the difficulty of forgiveness and the bittersweet bonds that shape our lives.

Beautiful Story.
This book was about so many things: grief, family, acceptance, struggles, etc. I really enjoyed the narration and the story. Beautifully written.

Acevedo’s a poet
Acevedo writes her novels as if they were poetry, and this is one of the many reason why I enjoy listening to them, they’re a musical narrative.

Narration didn’t appeal
I couldn’t get past the first chapter because I didn’t enjoy the narration style. Other reviewers really liked it so check out the sample and see if it’s ok for you. It reminded me of bad poetry readings and I couldn’t concentrate on the story.
