 elling verse novel (a 2020 Boston Globe-Horn Book honoree)\, sixteen-year-
 old Camino Rios lives in the Dominican Republic and dreams of medical scho
 ol. Sixteen-year-old Yahaira Rios is a native New Yorker who plays competi
 tive chess. Although the two girls share a last name\, they are strangers.
  But after flight 1112 from New York City to the Dominican Republic crashe
 s with the man they each called Papi on board\, Camino and Yahaira learn o
 f each others existence. In two distinct voices\, Acevedo (The Poet X\, re
 v. 3/18\; With the Fire on High\, rev. 5/19) explores the rich inner lives
  of the sudden half-sisters as they grapple with their complicated feeling
 s about their father and the secrets he kept. Yahaira narrates in stirring
  non-rhyming couplets\; Camino in intense three-line stanzas. Moving towar
 d their inevitable meeting\, Yahaira feels like a spool of thread / thats 
 been dropped to the ground...rolling undone / from the truth of this thing
 \, while Camino wonders\, If I find her / would I find a breathing piece /
  of myself I had not known / was missing? An authors note further explains
  the title of and inspiration for the novel\, which was influenced by the 
 tragic crash of flight AA587 out of New York that killed more than 260 peo
 ple\, most of them of Dominican descent\, shortly after September 11\, 200
