Everything you need to understand or teach The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton.
Set against the backdrop of extreme climate change in lower Florida, Lily Brooks-Dalton's The Light Pirate is a multigenerational novel that follows the lives of the Lowe family as they struggle to adapt to life in a dangerous and ever-changing tropical environment. Set entirely in and around the fictional town of Rudder, FL, the novel begins in the present-day and gradually envisions a future where human habitation of the Gulf Coast becomes increasingly untenable as a result of rising sea levels and increasingly intense storms. Insightful and humanistic, the novel addresses themes of climate change, family, class, redemption, and feminism.
