Lou Patterson and Sam Alvarez were inseparable-the best of
friends-until the most embarrassing middle school promposal ever.
Now, four years later, Lou is an introverted romantic who's bearing
the weight of her mother's expectations. Meanwhile, Sam is the
golden boy with plenty of friends who's still mourning the death of
his father. When Lou finds the bucket list she and Sam wrote
together as kids, she's disappointed to see that she hasn't
accomplished a single one of her goals. Go to a party? Nope. Pull
the greatest prank of all time? Still no. Learn how to be a really
good kisser? Definitely not. Lou sets out to finish the list, and
in a stroke of fate, Sam decides to tag along, stirring up old
arguments and some very new feelings. But with the bucket list to
guide them, Sam and Lou might just be able to find a way toward the
future and each other.

Increasing globalization presents both challenges and opportunities
to the higher education sector. This pioneering book shows how
interaction between the two fields of foreign language pedagogy
and second language acquisition (SLA) can facilitate more effective
language development at an advanced level. Establishing a new
research agenda to describe, assess, and study high-level language
use, it uses mixed-methods analyses within a sociocognitive
framework to explore constructs such as second language (L2)
identity and critical language awareness as essential components of
multilingualism and global citizenship. It approaches L2
advancedness from multiple perspectives, examining the L2 learner
and their understanding of advanced language use, highlighting
individual differences among foreign-language professionals
regarding high-level language use, positing the need for unified
departmental missions, and analysing alternative constructs to
assess L2 advancedness. Throughout, analyses of quantitative and
qualitative data are used to demonstrate the multiple dimensions of
advanced second language use in higher education.

Luisa (Lou) Patterson grew up across the street from Sam Alvarez in
the small, quirky town of Port Coral. They used to be
inseparable-spending every holiday together, shooting silly YouTube
videos, and rescuing stray cats. But then middle school happened,
including the most disastrous (and embarrassing) serenade ever, and
Lou and Sam haven't talked in the four years since. Sam is now the
golden boy with plenty of friends, while Lou is an introverted
romantic who's happy playing video games and writing fan fiction.
But it's also the summer before their senior year, and life is
knocking on Lou's door. With her older sister having given up a
scholarship to Princeton to have a baby and work at the local
botanica, all of their mother's expectations are now riding on
Lou's shoulders. She's retaking her SAT's, signed up for way too
many AP classes, and her sights set on colleges with fancy names
like Duke and Vanderbilt. But when she finds the bucket list she
and Sam wrote together as kids, before Sam's father was diagnosed
with cancer, she's shocked to see that she hasn't accomplished any
of the goals she'd set for herself. Go to a party? Nope. Pull the
greatest prank of all time? Still no. Learn how to be a really good
kisser? Definitely not. ?Torn between the future that her mother,
sister, and younger self planned for her, Lou sets out to finish
the list, and in a stroke of destiny or fate, Sam decides to tag
along. Still trying to stay afloat amid the grief of losing his
father, Sam himself is staring down a future that feels all too
close, and is coming far too fast. But with the bucket list to
guide them, Sam and Lou might just be able to find a way through
the future, and also a way back to each other.
Rosa Santos is cursed by the sea - at least, that's what they say. Dating her is bad news, especially if you're a boy with a boat. But Rosa feels more caught than cursed. Caught between cultures and choices. Between her abuela, a beloved healer and pillar of their community, and her mother, an artist who crashes in and out of her life like a hurricane. Between Port Coral, the quirky South Florida town they call home, and Cuba, the island her abuela refuses to talk about. As her college decision looms, Rosa collides - literally - with Alex, the mysterious boy with tattoos of the ocean whose family owns the marina. With her heart, her family, and her future on the line, can Rosa break a curse and find her place beyond the horizon?

you are -- good thing Maggie Diaz has the perfect plan!
