SUMMARY:Mud Season Speaker Series - Vermont Reads Book Discussion: THE LIGHT PIRATE
DESCRIPTION:Mud Season Speaker Series \nThe Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center and the Brooks Memorial Library invite you to a series of programs based upon the Vermont Reads 2025-26 selection\, The Light Pirate\, with the themes of climate resilience through community and the unstoppable power of the natural world. \nMonday\, April 13\, 6:30 – 8:00 PM \nVermont Reads Book Discussion: The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton \nJoin us for a thoughtful\, guided conversation centered on The Light Pirate\, a novel that follows one girl’s life as climate change reshapes Florida’s coast—and the meaning of home\, resilience\, and community. Rachael Cohen\, environmental writer and editor\, will facilitate this 90-minute discussion\, creating space to reflect together on the book’s themes\, characters\, and emotional impact. \nParticipants will explore themes such as climate adaptation and how people respond—individually and collectively—to environmental change. All readers are welcome\, whether the book moved you deeply or left you with lingering questions. Come prepared to listen\, reflect\, and engage in a meaningful exchange inspired by this powerful and timely novel. \nAbout The Light Pirate: \nNamed 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. \nTold in four parts—power\, water\, light\, and time—The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton 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. \nThanks to Vermont Humantites\, a limited amount of copies are available at the Circulation Desk. \n\nVermont Reads Speaker Bureau BIO: \nRachael Cohen has been a freelance editor specializing in environmental and regional studies\, a teacher of writing\, literature\, and natural history\, a caller of contra dances\, and a farm hand. She has a Bachelor of Arts in English from Cornell University and a Master of Science in Environmental Education from the Audubon Expedition Institute/Lesley University. When she’s not teaching for the University of Michigan’s New England Literature Program\, held each spring at a camp in New Hampshire\, she’s a caretaker in southern Vermont. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
