| Missing Angel Juan, a young adult novel by Francesca Lia Block, is the only book of the Weetzie series that is told in first person and in present tense. Witch Baby, who feels she doesn't fit in with her family because she is a foster child, is upset beyond comfort. She misses her boyfriend, Angel Juan, who has had to move back to Mexico. 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, as she rolls around the world on her cowboy-boot roller skates. |
