Pink Smog: Becoming Weetzie Bat

187 pp. | HarperTeen | February, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-156598-4 $17.99
(4) YA This prequel to Weetzie Bat introduces thirteen-year-old Louise Bat, lonely and depressed when her father leaves LA for New York. While the story sets up Weetzie to become the girl with glittery punk charm we all know and love, it's missing the edgy quirk and magic of the first book; the lackluster prose will leave hardcore Weetzie fans scratching their bleach-blonde flat-tops.
