Book Club
We’re taking the month of September off.  Stay tuned for info about our Vermont Reads meeting October 30th.  We’ll be reading Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton.

Named after a catastrophic storm, Wanda is born into a world that’s rapidly changing. Rising sea levels and devastating weather patterns transform her coastal Florida town. As she moves from childhood to adulthood, Wanda adapts to this remade landscape, finding adventure, love, and purpose in a place largely abandoned by civilization.

Told in four parts—power, water, light, and time—The Light Pirate is a meditation on the beauty and violence of an untamable wilderness. It considers the dissolution of the human-made world, and helps us see how human connection, adaptability, and a little bit of magic might guide us to a new future.

Alan Berolzheimer will be back to lead our discussion!
