"A near-future Florida is abandoned by the government after extreme heat and a series of devastating hurricanes that tear and soak the state. But some people don’t leave, even when electricity and communication are no longer supported. The Light Pirate is about Wanda, a girl burdened with the name of the storm that fractured her family and led to her community’s slow death. She learns to thrive as Florida re-wilds in a story that’s surprisingly beautiful and uplifting, given that it’s built on the rubble of civilization’s self-inflicted collapse."
