This is the story of Barbie Marks, who dreams of being the one behind the camera, not the voiceless one in front of it. 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 appears in a wondrous sparkle of light -- and 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.
