'We Are Pirates' features teenage Gwen who pulls together a ragtag crew to commit mayhem in the San Francisco Bay, while her hapless father tries to get her home."A jaunty and occasionally jolting, and honest take on the discomforts of youth, midlife, and old age, and how ineffective we are at dealing with them." (Publishers Weekly)Daniel Handler is the author of, most recently, 'Why We Broke Up,' a collaboration with award-winning illustrator Maira Kalman. Under the name Lemony Snicket he has written the bestselling series 'All the Wrong Questions' as well as 'A Series of Unfortunate Events,' which has sold more than 60 million copies and was the basis of a feature film. Snicket is also the creator of several picture books, including the award-winning 'The Dark,' illustrated by Jon Klassen. His newest picture book is '29 Myths on the Swinster Pharmacy,' illustrated by Lisa Brown.

Daniel Handler reads from 'We Are Pirates'

Disheartened by the 37 rejection letters in his back pocket, Daniel was shocked when a hasty bar-pitch landed him with a $40,000 publishing deal. After all, he was still relatively unknown…and his children’s story was odd to say the least. What kind of kid would want to read a faux (FOE) gothic novel about three orphans with a bloodthirsty relative out for their inheritance”? If this plot is sounding familiar…you may have heard of Daniel Handler before—or should we say…Lemony Snicket. Despite Daniel’s slow start in the publishing industry, he has since sold over 70 million copies of his books and become a household name. His literary work has also spawned countless film and tv spin offs, most recently the 2017 award-winning Netflix show “A Series of Unfortunate Events” starring Neil Patrick Harris. But before Count Olaf ever entered the picture, before he spent months writing in a dusty college basement, Daniel started like many other writers do: with a book in his hand.
