Weetzie Bat

I think this book has become a new favorite around my place! It is so heartfelt, quirky, and the characters are so lovable that it's hard not to like it. I really enjoy how fast paced it is. I was never bored and even though the book was short I really felt like the characters were well developed. I think that Block really sums up the book in the last line when she writes, "I don't know about happily ever after...but I know about happily, Weetzie Bat thought". Even though Weetzie Bat and her friends aren't exactly the most conventional family they have found happiness anyway. This fits perfectly with the whole story because not much about any of them is very conventional but they are great people who aren't perfect but are loyal and care about each other. I really like all the weird names, I just love the name My Secret Agent Lover Man. It's just funny and cute. I think that a lot of teens would like this novel because it is fun and fast paced and even though it is an older book it really doesn't seem that dated. I am looking forward to the debate tomorrow to see what everyone else has to say about the book!
