A note for parents
Weetzie Bat is a cult classic young adult novel with lyrical, poetic prose that celebrates friendship, love, and found family in 1980s Los Angeles. The story is primarily optimistic and whimsical, but contains scattered references to mature themes including drug use, casual sexual references, and some profanity that reflect the bohemian LA scene. While there is no graphic content, the book's sophisticated tone and themes make it most appropriate for older teens who can appreciate its literary style.
