Praise for
CHEROKEE BAT AND THE GOAT GUYS
“Block continues to illuminate serious contemporary themes with fresh, tellingly allusive imagery and a wonderfully lyrical and original style. Not to be missed.”
—
The Kirkus Reviews
“The writing is lyrical, and the lists are as wild and witty as ever in Block’s third punk fairy tale. … What will hold readers is the rich poetry of the setting, which celebrates the colors of a smoggy sunset as well as neon, lovers, frozen yogurt, and the smell of honeysuckle.”

Booklist
Praise for
WEETZIE BAT
“This postmodern fairy tale was sent to me by Mark Robinson of the band Unrest because he thought it was incredibly sassy, Well, he’s right … the campy names and unlikely plot twists are completely believable because Francesca Lia Block so deftly uses them to communicate how a misfit teenager really feels. And the spare writing style is very cool. The best part is that there are two sequels, WITCH BABY and CHEROKEE BAT AND THE GOAT GUYS, which I am so psyched to read.”
