Weetzie Bat
Weetzie Bat lived in a fairy-tale land of glitter, glitz, and coolness. She had a bleachd-blonde flat-top and pink sunglasses, and cruised around town with her best friend Dirk and her Slinkster Dog pooch in a '55 Pontiac named Jerry.
Weetzie loved L.A., with its plastic palm tree wallets and tomahawks, its cheap cheese and bean burritos, and its surfer dudes. But still, something was missing. So Weetzie made three wishes, and they all came true...

Weetzie Bat
The Weetzie Bat books are set in an almost dream-like, heightened version of Los Angeles, "Shangri-L.A.", in an indefinite time period that evokes both the essence of the 1980s punk craze and the sophisticated glamor of Hollywood in the 1950s.
Weetzie Bat consists of six primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
