This powerful, big-hearted story follows Emoni Santiago, a talented teen mother whose gift for cooking might just be the thing that saves her. Written in vivid, lyrical prose and threaded with recipes, it's a coming-of-age novel about ambition, family and food that has captivated teen and adult readers alike since its UK release from Hot Key Books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEver since she got pregnant, seventeen-year-old Emoni Santiago's life has revolved around making the tough calls — doing right by her young daughter and the grandmother who helped raise her, keeping her grades up, and trying not to get distracted by the charming new boy, Malachi. School, motherhood, money worries: it's a lot to carry. But in the kitchen, something shifts. Emoni has magic in her hands, an instinctive gift for flavour and improvisation that turns simple ingredients into extraordinary food, food that makes everyone around her stop and pay attention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen she's offered a place in her school's culinary arts class, taught by a chef who sees real promise in her, Emoni starts to wonder whether the impossible dream of becoming a professional chef might not be so impossible after all. Balancing single motherhood, a budding romance, senior year and a wildly uncertain future, Emoni has to decide how much of herself she's willing to risk in pursuit of what she loves. Told in immersive, sensory prose interspersed with the recipes Emoni dreams up along the way, this is a story about resilience, heritage, first love and the courage it takes to bet on yourself. Following the phenomenal success of the verse novel The Poet X, Acevedo proves equally masterful in prose, crafting a heroine whose voice is funny, flawed and utterly unforgettable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by National Book Award-winning author Elizabeth Acevedo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA moving, own-voices story of teen motherhood, ambition and identity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich, sensory prose interwoven with original recipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for fans of Angie Thomas and Nicola Yoon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal gift for teen and young adult readers who love contemporary fiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback copy, fast free UK delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nElizabeth Acevedo is the New York Times-bestselling author of The Poet X, winner of the National Book Award for Young People's Literature, the Michael L.

But this time, on the day his plane is due to land, Camino arrives at the airport to find crowds of grieving people instead. In New York City, Yahaira Rios is called into the principal's office, where her mother is waiting with devastating news: their father has died in a plane crash. Separated by an ocean and by the secrets of a man who lived a double life, the two sisters are forced to confront a truth that reshapes everything they believed about their family. As they discover one another, they must navigate shared loss, buried resentment, and the tentative, complicated work of building a bond neither knew she needed. Written in Acevedo's signature verse, the novel moves fluidly between Camino's and Yahaira's perspectives, capturing the rhythms of grief, memory, and cultural identity with striking clarity. It is a story about the Dominican Republic and New York, about fathers and the myths we build around them, and about sisters finding each other in the wreckage of loss. Tender, urgent, and unflinching, Clap When You Land is a story that lingers long after the final page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual narrative in verse, offering an accessible and emotionally immersive reading experience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by a National Book Award-winning and bestselling author\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores themes of grief, identity, forgiveness, and sisterhood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for teen readers, poetry fans, book clubs, and classroom study\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact paperback format, easy to carry, share, and revisit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA meaningful, thought-provoking gift for young adult readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElizabeth Acevedo is the author of Clap When You Land, With the Fire on High, and The Poet X, which won the National Book Award for Young People's Literature, the Michael L.
