The Light Pirate: A Novel by Lily Brooks-Dalton

Climate change can affect the future of a family as well as the future of a whole state like Florida. The novel opens with the father trying to save his family, especially his pregnant wife, during an extreme hurricane. The child was born prematurely and named after the hurricane, Wanda. The story follows Wanda’s life as she comes to terms with climate change and nature. This Dayton Literary Peace Prize Finalist is recommended by many as being engrossing and simultaneously heartfelt and heartbreaking.

The Last Resort: A Chronicle of Paradise, Profit, and Peril at the Beach by Sarah Stodola

The beach has a hold on the popular imagination as the ultimate paradise. The author dives into the psyche of the beachgoer and gets to the heart of what drives humans to seek out the sand. She grapples with the darker realities of resort culture such as strangleholds on local economies, reckless construction, erosion of beaches, weighty carbon footprints, and the inevitable overdevelopment and eventual decline along shorelines. Focuses on many popular destinations such as Waikiki, Cancun, Fiji, Acapulco, and Miami Beach.
