Weetzie Bat

Collapse teenage vernacular into one hip dictionary; people a glittering pink flamingo universe with a fairy godmother, homosexual boys so sweet you could hug 'em, and a wide-eyed innocent named Weetzie Bat; map it all out among the jammed highways and cement strips of L.A.'s boulevards, and you have this funny debut. A blithe, frank tale with a spirit so generous and a vision so clear that any innocents in the crowd will glide through this blue-sky-sand-and-surf scene unscathed.Francesca Lia Block is the author of 'Weetzie Bat' with ISBN 9780060205362 and ISBN 0060205369.
