Witch Baby
Once upon a time in the city of Shangri-L.A., someone left a baby on a doorstep. She had wild, dark hair and purple eyes and looked at the world in a special way.
The family that took her in called her Witch Baby and raised her as their own. But even though she tried to fit in, Witch Baby never felt as though she truly belonged.
So one day she packed her bat-shaped backpack, put her black cowboy-boot roller skates, and went out into the real world to find out who she really was...

Francesca Lia Block (born 1962) is the author of many young adult books, most famously the Weetzie Bat series.
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.
