Review:
"Francesca Lia Block's both IRRESISTIBLE and INVALUABLE." -- The New York Times Book Review
From the Back Cover:
Once upon a time, there was a girl caught in a grown-up world of SUPERSTARS and supermodels, a glitz-and-glamour web of SECRETS and lies. . . .
In this mesmerizing post-modern fairy tale, critically acclaimed author Francesca Lia Block distills elements of fantasy and realism into an intoxicating blend of striking imagery and raw emotion.
This is the story of Barbie Marks, who dreams of being the one behind the camera, not some barely flesh-and-blood version of the plastic doll she was named after. It is the story of Griffin Tyler, whose androgynous beauty hides the dark pain within him. And finally, it is the story of Mab, a pinkie-sized, magenta-haired, straight-talking fairy who may or may not be real.
With the same lush, electrifying prose that made WEETZIE BAT a cult classic, Francesca Lia Block concocts a potent brew of magic and transformation to stir the soul, revealing that love can heal even the deepest scars.
