Found this during my last year of school, and I practically LIVED in it. "The reason
Weetzie Bat hated high school was that no one understood." Weetzie lives in L.A., hanging out
with her dog and her best friend Dirk. Then one day Dirk's Grandma Fifi gives her a golden
thing that a genie comes out of, and Weetzie gets three wishes. This book deals with love,
death, babies and infidelity. And it's not even a hundred pages long. |

I identify too much with Witch Baby, so this book is always somewhat painful to read.
Witch Baby feels like she doesn't belong. She tries to do special things to get people to like
her, but they always backfire. Then she meets a boy named Angel Juan on her father's movie set
and for once, she feels like she fits in. But Angel Juan's family is deported, and Witch Baby
runs away from home to find her birth mother. Even though this is another short one, there's
a lot I'm leaving out. |

At first it starts with good intentions--Cherokee makes wings for Witch Baby so that
she will come out of the mud on her birthday. But soon it gets more complicated. Cherokee and
her love Raphael and Witch Baby and Angel Juan form a rock band called the Goat Guys. With their
parents out of town and tensions rising between the band members, things get way out of control.
And Cherokee can't take it anymore. |

Anjel Juan has fled to New York, and soon Witch Baby follows him. During her search she
meets the ghost of her almost-grandfather, takes lots of pictures, and runs into big evil.
This book makes me cry. |

Before he met Weetzie, Dirk was a confused boy. He fell in love with his best friend
and scared him away. The he found punk and began to lose himself in it. One night he picked on
the wrong skinhead and was beaten badly. That's when his family began to tell him stories. I
don't know how to explain this one, except to tell you that every time I close this book I cry.
