In a Florida already wracked by climate change, Frida gives birth to baby Wanda in the midst of a deadly hurricane. As the world continues to disintegrate, Wanda grows and adapts to an ever-changing world. Living in a community abandoned by society, Wanda seeks adventure, community, and love in a place remade by nature.

You would expect nothing less than gorgeous writing from Lilly Brooks-Dalton, author of Good Morning, Midnight. Her lyrical prose gives an added force to climate fiction, painting the end of the world with such beauty you can't look away. The Light Pirate starts with a compelling section about the hurricane surrounding Wanda's birth, and you are immediately drawn into the family's struggles. As Wanda grows, you are drawing in as the world that we know vanishes, replaced by a wild future.
