Fiction
Mega-bestselling author Daniel Handler (aka Lemony
Snicket) gives us his long-awaited new novel for adult
readers: a dark, rollicking, stunningly entertaining human
comedy. A boat has gone missing. Goods have been stolen. There is
blood in the water. It is the twenty-first century and a
crew of pirates is terrorizing the San Francisco Bay. Phil is a husband, a father, a struggling radio producer,
and the owner of a large condo with a view of the water.
But he'd like to be a rebel and a fortune hunter. Gwen is his daughter. She's fourteen. She's a student, a
swimmer, and a best friend. But she'd like to be an
adventurer and an outlaw. Phil teams up with his young, attractive assistant. They
head for the open road, attending a conference to seal a
deal. Gwen teams up with a new, fierce friend and some restless
souls. They head for the open sea, stealing a boat to hunt
for treasure. We Are Pirates is a novel about our desperate searches for
happiness and freedom, about our wild journeys beyond the
boundaries of our ordinary lives. Also, it's about a teenage girl who pulls together a
ragtag crew to commit mayhem in the San Francisco Bay,
while her hapless father tries to get her home.
