For fourteen years, since the death of her father and the disappearance of her mother, it has been just the two of them - Eva and her beloved grandmother Millie, and they have forged a seemingly unbreakable bond. Now though, Eva has turned eighteen and she wants answers - answers which Millie has always been either unable or unwilling to provide. Millie's inability to satisfy Eva's need for the truth only makes her more determined to learn about her family and her mother's fate. Her quest takes them to Greece where their bond will be tested to the limit as Millie has to confront her past, Eva discovers the sacrifices love entails, and they both finally have the chance to uncover the truth about the enduring mystery at the heart of their lives. But will their experiences in Greece bring them closer together or tear them apart? The Ghosts of Summer combines a coming-of-age story with romance and mystery, set in a vibrant Greek landscape.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From #1 New York Times bestselling author Alex Aster comes her adult debut novel Summer in the City--a swoony, fast-paced rom-com set in New York City in which a screenwriter and a sexy tech CEO go from lovers to enemies and back to lovers again... Twenty-seven-year-old screenwriter Elle has the chance of a lifetime to write a big-budget movie set in New York City. The only problem? She's had writer's block for months, and her screenplay is due at the end of the summer. In a desperate attempt at inspiration, Elle ends up back in the city she swore she would never return to, in an apartment she could never afford (floor-to-ceiling windows, skyline views, and a new coffee shop to haunt included). It's the perfect place to write her screenplay...until she realizes her new neighbor is tech "Billionaire Bachelor" Parker Warren, her stairwell hookup from two years ago. It's been a lovers-to-enemies situation ever since. When seeing him again turns into a full night of hate-fueled writing, Elle realizes her enemy/twisted muse might just be the key to finishing her screenplay... if she can stand being around her polar opposite. She writes anonymously, and he's on the cover of every business magazine. He frequents fancy red carpeted events, and she doesn't like leaving her emotional support five block radius. One summer. One wall apart. He needs to fake a buzzy relationship during his company's precarious acquisition. She needs to write a movie around a list of NYC locations. Both need a break from their unrelenting schedules, and a chance to rediscover the skyscraper glimmering, pizza crusted, sunlit charms of the city. Summers always end, and so will this agreement. It's all pretend. Promise. Until it isn't.

Power Tools: 30 Critical Disciplinary Literacy Strategies for 6-12 Classroom is a unique textbook that offers readers an assortment of short, easy-to-implement disciplinary literacy strategies (which guide virtually all national standards) from critical literacy lenses. Recently emerging scholarship around critical disciplinary literacy (CDL) suggests that disciplinary literacy is, by itself, an incomplete and potentially problematic approach to secondary (grades 6-12) literacy instruction. A more equitable approach—one that understands disciplines as unique communities with their own unique (and often exclusionary) skills, norms, and discourses (Moje, 2015)—would be more responsive to the ways in which power works differently based on the disciplines at hand (Dyches, 2018/2022). For example, examining systems of power and oppression involved in vaccine distributions requires a different skill set and strategy approach than looking at representations of masculinity in Romeo and Juliet. Power Tools provides multidisciplinary ideas for how to implement CDL in secondary classrooms. Moreover, given the current and ongoing attacks on justice-centered teaching, this text will also serve a critical need: showing teachers how they can teach to name and disrupt oppression in ways that are also standards/discipline-based. The book offers 30 strategies, with 1-2 pages for each strategy. As an organizing feature in the beginning of the text, there is a vertical list of strategies in alphabetical order, with horizontal columns to the right: one for Critical Literacy Skill and another for Disciplinary Literacy Skill. This feature allows readers to quickly discern which tasks most immediately meet their instructional goals. Each brief chapter will follow the following format: ·A brief overview of each strategy, situated in research of best practices and critique; ·Two to three disciplinary examples for each CDL strategy (i.e. an example of a critical disciplinary literacy-oriented think aloud in seventh grade math and tenth grade ELA classroom). Strategy examples may include examples of student work, discussion prompts, dialogue between teacher and students, and reprintables; ·Ideas for addressing push back. This piece will be especially powerful for teachers concerned about fallout from opening up CDL oriented conversations. Power Tools is the perfect text for courses such as Disciplinary Literacy, Secondary Literacy, Content Area Literacy, Methods/Strategies for Teaching Social Justice, Multicultural Education, ELA methods, Science methods, Social Studies methods, and Math methods. It is a valuable tool for both preservice and in-service teachers.
