Weetzie Bat. Dangerous Angels 1.

Proof copy. 8vo. Pp. [vi], 100, [6 (blank)]. Blue pictorial wraps.

An offbeat heroine shares a Hollywood cottage with three equally quirky companions. The first in the series of the Weetzie Bat postmodern fairy tales, which Block wrote while still a student at UC Berkeley.

First published in 1989 by Harper Collins. Winner of the 2009 Phoenix Award from the Children's Literature Association as the best English-language children's book, which unjustifiably failed to win a major award upon first publication. American Library Association (ALA) Margaret A. Edwards Award in 2005 for "significant and lasting contribution to young adult literature" for the first five Weetzie Bat books. Ages 12-up.

"Block's first book is related in a breezy, knowing voice; her strange and sparkling tribute to growing up in L.A. is a rare treat for those sophisticated enough to appreciate it." –Publishers Weekly
