Over at Sarah Enni’s blog, they’ve come up with a neat idea in sending a message to people when you’re out in public yet reading a book and don’t want to be disturbed. It’s cute and adorable, and available for printing yourself.
Dangerous Angels: The Weetzie Bat Books by Francesca Lia Block
My rating: 0 of 5 stars
I wrote a review on Weetzie Bat #1 — However, this is the actual book I read, the collection of all 5 Weetzie Bat novels into one volume. My recommendation carries over from the other review — Block has a stunning way of writing about teens that captures the messiness and awesomeness in one go. Combining reality with bits of urban fantasy that the characters themselves make up as they go along, these tails are compelling, funny, scary, and all about being a young adult.
Weetzie Bat by Francesca Lia Block
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I read this book ages ago now, and was completely taken with the author’s style. While grounded in reality, this is also part urban fantasy as made up by the characters themselves. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of young adult work. Block’s writing is edgy, modern, very very real. Her characters have a life to them that goes beyond the mere printed page.
