The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton
4.0

Great book! I haven’t read a story line like this before. I found myself asking over and over omg can she catch a break!

The light pirate takes place in Florida during hurricane season. There are some families that choose to evacuate and some that are convinced that they are prepared to withstand whatever hurricane Wanda brings. Wanda is named after the hurricane that hit the day she was born. The light pirate takes us on Wanda’s journey as she navigates a crumbling society that can no longer withstand the catastrophic changes that nature is laying down.

This book reminded me of Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens but rather than poverty and abuse that left Kya to fend for herself it was climate change that left Wanda to navigate a whole new world.
