Dangerous Angels: Five Weetzie Bat Books by Block, Francesca Lia. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780062007407.

The Weetzie Bat series, by acclaimed author Francesca Lia Block, was listed among NPRs 100 Best-Ever Teen Novels. This collection brings together all five luminous novels of the series in one paperback. Spinning a saga of interwoven lives and beating hearts, these postmodern fairy tales take us to a Los Angeles brimming with magical realism: a place where life is a mystery, pain can lead to poetry, strangers become intertwined souls, and everyone is searching for the most beautiful and dangerous angel of all: love. The Weetzie Bat books broke new ground with their stylized, lyrical prose and unflinching look at the inner life of teens. The New York Times declared Dangerous Angels was "transcendent." And the Village Voice proclaimed "Ms. Block writes for the young adult in all of us." Includes Weetzie Bat, Witch Baby, Cherokee Bat and the Goat Guys, Missing Angel Juan, and Baby Be-Bop.
