I loved this book, as well as Ecstasia.
I started looking around the library one day, and picked up Baby Be-Bop. I now own Dangerous Angels which is the Weetzie Bat books combined into one book, Ecstasia, and Primavera. I have read everything she has written in YA except for The Hanged Man.This is about Calliope and Dionisio's daughter, Primavera. Primavera lives in 'Paradise,' which was once a desert but is now flourishing with life. When Primavera sings her songs, which everyone thinks she got from Paul, flowers bloom. A stranger comes to the Paradise one day, he is called Gunn. He has a metal horse headed motorcycle that he will trade Primavera for a song.
She finally does sing and he leaves the bike in a cave for her. She goes to Elysia, the sweet city that is thriving of the young and he old go Under. She has many different and various 'adventures' along the way there, and the way home. This is absolutely a GREAT BOOK!
read it.

In Francesca Lia Block's follow up to her first fantasy novel, Ecstasia, she delves even deeper into the genre with the tale of a girl named Primavera. Primavera was born to 2 members of the band Ecstasia, which the first novel followed.Primavera grew up in the lush gardens that her voice gave life to. She brought water to the dessert where her family had moved to raise her. This home was all she knew. But she dreamed of the city, Elysia, she had heard her parents speak of. Elysia was a constant carnival with costumes, music, and youth. Her family warned of the town's dangers but when a stranger comes to visit he leads Primavera out on a journey to discover knew things. What she discovers are worlds with mystical creatures, dangerous situations, and great adventure. As she travels through these places you feel like you are along side her as you can actually picture the magical places. Definitely one of Block's finer works of the imagination. Read it when you feel like dreaming and fantasizing.

Each time I read this book, I am captured by the Block's exquisite characterizations. Along with Ecstasia, I think this pair of stories are the finest Block has written. The world she creates is practically tangible and has invaded many of my dreams. There are few writers who are able to create a purely fantasy setting and make it so touching and believable. I have enjoyed Block's other books, and have used her writings for the basis of an English thesis. I am sorry that she has not continued with the fantasy genre and has moved into more realistic settings. Each book she writes, though, has an element of the supernatural and surreal
