They Both Die at the End meets The Butterfly Effect in this YA novel by Joan F. Smith, where a teen uses her gift of foreknowledge to help a lifeguard save a drowning man—only to discover that her actions have suddenly put his life at risk. It was supposed to be an ordinary day at the pool, but when lifeguard Nick hesitates during a save, seventeen-year-old December uses her gift of foreknowledge to rescue the drowning man instead. The action comes at a cost. Not only will Nick and December fall in love, but also, she envisions that his own life is now at risk. The other problem? They’re basically strangers. December embarks on a mission to save Nick’s life, and to experience what it feels like to fall in love—something she’d formerly known she’d never do. Nick, battling the shame of screwing up the rescue when he’s heralded as a community hero, resolves to make up for his inaction by doing December a major solid and searching for her mother, who went missing nine years ago. As they grow closer, December’s gift starts playing tricks, and Nick’s family gets closer to an ugly truth about him. They both must learn what it really means to be a hero before time runs out.

Este interesante manual clave sobre investigación en educación tiene dos objetivos principales. En primer lugar, introducir conceptos básicos necesarios para la comprensión de la investigación. Asimismo, busca brindar marcos para el desarrollo de un proyecto de investigación. La investigación consiste, como afirman los autores, en explorar y comprender problemas. Y eso está al alcance de cualquier docente; no es más que dar un paso adelante en la práctica reflexiva. Pero no debe contemplarse como una empresa lineal que brinda automáticamente mejoras para la práctica. Al contrario, es posible que nos conduzca a resultados inesperados, que deriven a su vez en nuevas preguntas y enfoques. Por su naturaleza, la investigación educativa no podrá aportarnos verdades universales, y eso es lo que la hace tan especial. Para llevar a cabo los proyectos de investigación, el libro aporta herramientas y reflexiones básicas y prácticas, como la influencia del contexto, las técnicas de recogida y análisis de datos, y la importancia de la ética del investigador. En definitiva, una lectura para saciar el apetito de cualquier profesional interesado en la investigación en educación que busque plantear y desarrollar sus propios proyectos de investigación.
