In the not too distant future, Wanda is born on the day of the worst hurricane to hit Florida - Hurricane Wanda. Her name marks her as something "other" and she becomes an independent child learning from the adults in her life and the ever changing environment. The Light Pirate is the story of Wanda's whole life. 

This is an ominous work of climate fiction, and I really enjoyed it. Lily Brooks-Dalton is a new author to me, and I look forward to reading more of her books.
