Synopsis:

Meet Tweetie Sweet Pea and Peachy Pie, Jacaranda and Rave and Desiree...Meet Lady Ivory and Alabaster Dutchess, who interview their favorite rock star, Nick Agate, only to discover the magic and power in themselves. Meet Tuck Budd, who is happy living in Manhattan with her two moms, Izzy and Anastasia, until she begins to wonder who her father is. Meet La, who faces the loss of her mother with an imaginary androgynous blue friend who lives in her closet. Zingingly bright and dreamily dark, full of wonder and gritty reality, these stories by acclaimed author Francesca Lia Block show the reader that in every girl there truly is a goddess.

Review:

"As with Block's novels, these small dazzlers explore enduring values and provide a diverting take on facets of contemporary teen culture."

Kirkus, 07/15/1996

Review:

"Poetic and sensual language distinguishes this collection of nine stories about pre- and post-adolescent females and their coming to grips--or not--with the world..."

Janice M. Del Negro, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, October 1996
