AUDIBLE LATINO
Latinx experience with these top picks.
WINNER: Clap When You Land
Performed by Elizabeth Acevedo, Melania Luisa Marte
It’s no surprise that Elizabeth Acevedo’s Clap When You Land takes the top spot for Audible Latino. This powerful #ownvoice story about two Dominican sisters finding each other over a tragic loss resonates with us on many levels. Avi Roque’s groundbreaking Cemetery Boys is the runner-up as one of the most unique YA titles of the year. On the Spanish side of things, honorable mention must be awarded to the incredible Audible Original La Mujer Que Sabe Volar. This moving listen shows us that life is truly a gift we should never take for granted. We can’t wait for listeners to dive into the English version, coming soon. Topping off the list is Inquebrantables, the Spanish-language hit of 2020, and Lobizona, the first book in an utterly beautiful YA series.
