Block, F. (1989). Weetzie Bat. New York: Harper & Row.
Weetzie Bat is set in a fantazied version of Los Angeles. She and her friend Dirk enjoy life, wearing stylish vintage clothes and spending time on the town. However, they both desperately wish for someone to love. Weetzie's grandmother leaves her a golden thing upon her death. Weetzie is surprised when a genie appears and Weetzie is offered 3 wishes. Weetzie wishes for a Duck for Dirk, a secret agent man for herself and house to live
happily ever after. Weetzie and Duck soon find love and the
2 couples create an unconventional but loving family.
I would recommend this book for high school age and above. The
topics of homosexuality and drugs may be too mature for younger
readers.
