Back in 1989, Francesca Lia Block introduced readers to a fantastic, funky Los Angeles filled with unforgettable, "slinkster cool" characters in her first YA book, Weetzie Bat. Since then, lots of us have been hooked on her lush, evocative tales. From five books about Weetzie and her family and friends to a short story collection (Girl Goddess #9) and the recent hit novel Violet & Claire, Block has kept the great characters coming. Her talent for poetically mixing truth and magic, and her ability to explore difficult themes with honesty, sensitivity and hipness gives her an appeal that reaches beyond a legion of teen devotees.
