Dangerous Angels
Is a fantastic book! I think I found this book in middle school, and to this day I still reread it.
if you feel like you don't belong any where, or like you don't matter, then this is the perfect book for you.
the book follows a young girl named "weetzie bat", and her amazing family of misfits. the book takes place in California.
in the first half of the book you watch weetzie go from being a out cast teen, to having a wonderful family and becoming a mom.
and in the second half the book focusses on her kids.
witch baby and Cherokee
two girls that are complete opposites, but have nothing but love for each other.

through out the book , weetzie and her family of misfits experience magical things
genies, magical indian objects and so much more.

you will love the way the author uses really poppy ways to describe thing. even simple things like a "water fountain that changes soda-pop colors"
it really is a very unique story!
the book is LBGT supportive.
with gay night clubs and one of the biggest charecters in the book Duck and Dirk.
when the book start following the kids you get to read about the struggles duck faces coming out that he's gay to his parents.

this book hold a special place in my heart.
and once you read it I think it will hold one in yours as well.

I recommend this book to YA readers, 13+
any one into a fantasy book that is easy to relate to, this is one you will want to pick up.

I read a book of short stories by this author before! She's good; I like her.
I don't know this one though... sounds interesting!
Some of the short stories I remember were really weird and I didn't much care for them, but some of them were really good, especially the LGBT friendly ones!

I had forgotten about this book until I just happened to run across this old post! Kind of late to say this, but thanks for the recommendation!
