Synopsis
Weetzie Bat is the first novel written by American author Francesca Lia Block and was originally published in 1989. It is most often categorized as fiction for young adults. The narrative follows the adventures of the eponymous character Weetzie and her best friend Dirk, their friends and relations. On being granted three wishes by a genie, Weetzie discovers that the ramifications of her wishes are not exactly what she had been expecting.
Reviews
On Dec 27 2015, a reader said:
When I say Weetzie Bat is one of my most favourite books ever, I must add that I hold it up in such high regard mostly with the rest of the books in the Weetzie Bat book series. Magical realism and fantasy are not genres I read very often, but for Francesca I will.
I first read Weetzie Bat when I was just approaching the end of middle school and getting out of reading Babysitters Club and Fear Street books. Something about it just really hit me as being so friggin' cool I almost couldn't stand it. The characters are just so hip and cool, the descriptions of Los Angeles (referred to as Shangri-L.A.) are lush, and the story of Weetzie and her best guys friends is super fun. It's young adult, but I'll always love it.
