When We Make It

HardcoverƂ Ƃ |Ƃ 384 pages
"The energy. The clarity. The beauty. Elisabet Velasquez brings it all. . . . Her voice is FIRE!"Ć¢ā‚¬ā€NYTƂ bestselling and award-winning authorƂ Jacqueline Woodson
Ƃ
An unforgettable, torrential, and hopeful debut young adult novel-in-verse that redefines what it means to "make it,Ć¢ā‚¬Ā for readers of Nicholasa Mohr and Elizabeth Acevedo.


Sarai is a first-generation Puerto Rican question asker who can see with clarity the truth, pain, and beauty of the world both inside and outside her Bushwick apartment. Together with her older sister, Estrella, she navigates the strain of family traumas and the systemic pressures of toxic masculinity and housing insecurity in a rapidly gentrifying Brooklyn. Sarai questions the society around her, her Boricua identity, and the life she lives with determination and an open heart, learning to celebrate herself in a way that she has long been denied.

When We Make ItƂ is a love letter to anyone who was taught to believe that they would not make it. To those whoƂ feelƂ their emotions before they can name them. To those who still may not have all the language but they have their story. Velasquez’ debut novel is sure to leave an indelible mark on all who read it.
