Response activities:

1. Weetzie Bat is granted three wishes from a genie. If you had three wishes, what would you wish for?

 

2. Block's Dangerous Angels series (Weetzie Bat and its sequels) have been dubbed modern day fairy tales. Write a brief modern-day fairy tale of your own or create illustrations for your fairy tale.

 

3. Some critics have called Block's works controversial and attempted to ban them. Do you feel that the works present an accurate portrayal of life for teenagers and their struggle to adulthood? Do you feel that the books are appropriate for young adults? Why or why not?
