Publisher Comments:

In this novel set prior to Weetzie Bat, teenager Dirk McDonald, Weetzie's best pal, has always known he is gay. What he doesn't know is how to tell his grandma Fifi—until one night, when all the wild and powerful story-images from the past begin to flow out of a magic lamp. "Fleshing out one of the colorful characters introduced in Weetzie Bat, Block displays the brilliant, original vision that makes all her books unforgettable."—K. "Here, more purposefully than ever before, Block weaves a safety net of words for readers longing to feel at home with themselves."—SLJ.
