About this event
Two girls, unknown to each other and separated by distance and family secrets, discover one another through a shared tragedy. In Clap When You Land, a novel-in-verse that brims with grief and love, National Book Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Acevedo writes about the devastation of loss, the difficulty of forgiveness, and the bittersweet bonds that shape our lives.
