Block throws in so many crazy ways of describing things that it will leave your mind reeling. What makes this book different and special is the way it is written. These fantastical happenings are rarities in the stories though they are written in a way that leaves you wondering if the character really did run into something magical or are they just hallucinating? There are odd bits of magic thrown in at rare points a genie shows up to grant wishes, Baby Witch tours New York city with her dead grandfather. For the most part the book takes place in LA. More than anything the books are about facing the difficulties of growing up and how a person's personality can affect that. Each book is done from a different character's point of view. I picked this up because it sounded like an interesting urban fantasy that wasn't really what it was. This is the collection of the Weezie Bat Books all into one book.
