Noel Remy has been so busy at his Christmas store, Snow Cute, that it takes a lot of persuading for him to finally go home to Signet Falls this Christmas. While the thought of leaving his business unattended is on his mind, there’s also the memories of his first crush back home that he has kept locked away for years.

An unlikely friendship, with a tentative wish for something more, began to blossom … until life caused it to wither away just as quickly.
Now, ten years later, they run into each other again in Signet Falls. Through Christmas festivities and holiday spirit, how will their relationship turn out. Have they forgotten about each other or is there still a spark and a second chance for love?

Clive Cussler’s The Devil’s Sea
DIRK PITT IS BACK, AND ON HIS SHOULDERS RESTS THE FATE OF THE ENTIRE PLANET . . .
JOIN THE LATEST THRILL RIDE FROM THE GRAND MASTER OF ADVENTURE, CLIVE CUSSLER
_________In 1959 a Skytrain plane flees Tibet – carrying a precious artefact – but after crossing the Himalayas it is never seen again . . .
Sixty years later Dirk Pitt and NUMA are surveying near the Philippines when a rogue wave nearly sinks their ship. Diverting to rescue washed-away islanders, Pitt discovers the wave has raised a sunken relic – an ancient cargo plane.
But before he can get to the bottom of one mystery, Pitt is hit with another: beat the Chinese military to find a lost hypersonic missile. Yet what should be a simple search and retrieve reveals evidence of a far more dangerous weapon.
Because the rogue wave that almost sank Pitt and devastated the islands was no natural phenomenon. And the weapon that caused it is to be turned on a much bigger target . . .

Computational Thinking (The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series)
An introduction to computational thinking that traces a genealogy beginning centuries before the digital computer.A few decades into the digital era, scientists discovered that thinking in terms of computation made possible an entirely new way of organizing scientific investigation; eventually, every field had a computational branch: computational physics, computational biology, computational sociology. More recently, “computational thinking” has become part of the K–12 curriculum. But what is computational thinking? This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers an accessible overview, tracing a genealogy that begins centuries before digital computers and portraying computational thinking as pioneers of computing have described it.
The authors explain that computational thinking (CT) is not a set of concepts for programming; it is a way of thinking that is honed through practice: the mental skills for designing computations to do jobs for us, and for explaining and interpreting the world as a complex of information processes. Mathematically trained experts (known as “computers”) who performed complex calculations as teams engaged in CT long before electronic computers. The authors identify six dimensions of today’s highly developed CT—methods, machines, computing education, software engineering, computational science, and design—and cover each in a chapter. Along the way, they debunk inflated claims for CT and computation while making clear the power of CT in all its complexity and multiplicity.
