Missing Angel Juan Weetzie Bat Francesca Lia Block Books

For every fan of the new modern love triangle, "tru wuv", your love is my drug, I will die without you YA romance novels that have been published recently I humbly beg and plead for you to read this book. It's time for you to wake up.

Missing Angel Juan is a fantastical, magical, fairy tale story that addresses some very real emotions, needs and addictions of a teen couple who separate through their fear and addiction to love.

Angel Juan leaves to try and find himself. He feels like he is only an object to be loved and used like a drug, he feels like he is being suffocated in this unhealthy, clinging, I-will-die-without-you relationship and wants to go and find himself. He fears love as well for those reasons.

Witch Baby feels lost and alone without him. She loves him, she needs him and she doesn't understand why he went away. She leaves school and follows her (older, out of school) boyfriend to New York to try and find him. She starves herself and pines and discards everything and everyone in her life to track down her other half. That's when both Angel Juan and Witch Baby discover things they never expected. Witch Baby meets up with her step mother's father Charlie Bat (a ghost that only she can see, by the way) and Angel Juan meets up with someone far more sinister (if you can believe it).

They both have a lot of lessons to learn. She needs to learn to use herself to find happiness through music and art and life. She needs to learn to love, but also to let go. He needs to learn the same lessons about finding and using himself for his own happiness, and also how to love and be loved in return. They both need to learn about how to form a healthy relationship and how to be happy both together and apart.

With each new book in Dangerous Angels Francesca Lia Block gets better and better. Witch Baby was always her most well rounded and vivid character and she really comes into her own in this novel. I loved reading about Witch Baby's take on New York and about the magic she finds on every street corner, whether in soho, central park, or the meat packing district. The language sparkles and really brings the world and characters to life.

The message is also one that you hear precious little of in YA romance today and it's one I would like to see more of. I want to see girls forming healthy relationships, getting out of or changing unhealthy ones, changing unhealthy mindsets, and having enough self respect to draw the line even if it feels like it's going down your middle. Most importantly I want to see them learning the difference between love and need and addiction and seeing that they are not all one and the same. This book does just that.

Missing Angel Juan Weetzie Bat Francesca Lia Block Books Reviews

The fourth book in the Dangerous Angels series--my favorite--is Missing Angel Juan. It is the only book of the Weetzie series that is told in first person and in present tense. Witch Baby misses her boyfriend, Angel Juan, who left L.A and left her behind. She goes on a search for him and finds instead the ghost of her "grandfather," Charlie Bat. This is the story of her adventure through the world and through her own mind.
where were you when the stars fell?
man, i don't know what to say, some of those reviews really make me wonder about francesca's readership > but, i guess it's the minority? ) not sunny enough? witchbaby, to me, is the most beautiful character, i think the real dangerous angel, the one who seeks the most, has the most potential for transformation. why rehash the plot? remember the part where the masks come off? remember the part where she makes peace with the ghost of her father, with abandonment, with life without (happy)endings? going to coney island, falling, finding (maybe just because i lived close enough to coney island a lot of my life, but it's mystical, surreal, beautiful)
she has such a true way of writing about 'the quest', the girl-goddess finding sorrow and light, like the last unicorn. but she started out with sorrow and found the tangly threads of art and love weaving in. witchbaby is living out her deep desires, working to save her secret self of love, working/willing to be real even though the world is falling all around her, and it is, but it's true, she can fly. okay, i admit, it's pretty cool to be a jinn's daughter, but > all of us fatherless witch-girls must have imagined the like...
with the most depth of any of francesca's characters, witchbaby is struggling to be at peace with herself, to be real. sunny? heh no, it's luminous, it's brilliant, it's shining like 3 moons. and you know she will find him, the Boy, because looking at everything, looking and seeing herself (and her love) unmasked, she is free.
First sentence "Angel Juan and I walk through a funky green fog."

When Angel Juan leaves for New York, a shattered Witch Baby follows him and finds angels and uncles, ghosts and monsters. One of these ghosts accompanies her through the city, her camera showing her what's truly happening despite appearances. There are treehouses and shivering cold, feasts and Ferris wheels, museums and menacing mannequins. Block articulates the pain and panic of loss so beautifully, so poetically, so wrenchingly deeply.

Another in the beautiful Weetzie Bat series ... If your heart is "a teacup covered with hairline cracks," or if your teacup heart has already broken into jagged pieces, this book will show you how to save yourself.

This is my favorite of the Weetzie Bat series. Witch Baby's journey to NYC to find Angel Juan is equal parts heartache and magic. Weetzie's dad, Charlie Bat, hosts Weetzie's stay in spite of the fact that he has transitioned to the spiritual world. If you know a teen chest-deep in heartbreak, this book and Kwame Alexander's Solo might help them through.
