Product Information

In The Island of Excess Love, Pen has lost her parents. She's lost her eye. But she has fought Kronen; she has won back her fragile friends and her beloved brother. Now Pen, Hex, Ash, Ez, and Venice are living in the pink house by the sea, getting by on hard work, companionship, and dreams. Until the day a foreboding ship appears in the harbor across from their home. As soon as the ship arrives, they all start having strange visions of destruction and violence. Trance-like, they head for the ship and their new battles begin. This companion to Love in the Time of Global Warming follows Pen as she searches for love among the ruins, this time using Virgil's epic Aeneid as her guide. A powerful and stunning book filled with Francesca Lia Block's beautiful language and inspiring characters.

Reviews
Love in the Time of Global Warming :"Literary-minded readers will enjoy teasing out the allusions to Homer . . . but knowledge of the classics is not a requirement to be swept up in the tatterdemalion beauty of the story's lavish, looping language." - Publishers Weekly , starred review  "Magic is no stranger to Block's world, nor is her signature poetic sensibility. And love, in its many varieties and forms, is celebrated, as always." - Booklist      "The juxtapositions, too, are pulled off flawlessly: the disgusting, deathly, anxious, and devastating are, improbably-through Pen's astute eyes-also beautiful, lively, serene, and hopeful. Block achieves these and other heroic literary feats in this sophisticated melding of post-apocalyptic setting, re-imagined classic, and her signature magical realism." - The Horn Book  "The dreamlike quality of the writing, typical of the author's works, functions well with the fantastical elements of the story. . . . This is an excellent title for students who have read Homer's Odyssey as well as readers who enjoy a mix of fantasy and reality." - School Library Journal, Praise for Love in the Time of Global Warming :   * "A post-apocalyptic setting awash with danger brings an exhilarating twist to Block's signature mashup of rock-and-roll urchins and high literature. . . . Literary-minded readers will enjoy teasing out the allusions to Homer . . . but knowledge of the classics is not a requirement to be swept up in the tatterdemalion beauty of the story's lavish, looping language." - Publishers Weekly , starred review   "The juxtapositions, too, are pulled off flawlessly: the disgusting, deathly, anxious, and devastating are, improbably-through Pen's astute eyes-also beautiful, lively, serene, and hopeful.

This is an excellent title for students who have read Homer's Odyssey as well as readers who enjoy a mix of fantasy and reality." - School Library Journal * "Block writes about the real Los Angeles better than anyone since Raymond Chandler." - The New York Times Book Review "Hers is a voice so unique that nobody will ever be able to imitate it." -Cindy Dobrez, chairwoman of the committee that awarded Block the Margaret A. Edwards Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005  Praise for Pink Smog: Becoming Weetzie : * "Newcomers and longtime fans alike will find much to savor in this nuanced meditation on what is lost, and what is gained, in the process of becoming an artist." - Publishers Weekly , starred review * "An intoxicating mix of mystery, fantasy, and romance told in her signature poetic style and peopled by guardian angels, witches, a goddess, and a demon." - Booklist , starred review   Praise for Dangerous Angels: The Weetzie Bat Books : "Ms. Block's far-ranging free association has been controlled and shaped . . . with sensual characters. The language is inventive Californian hip, but the patterns are compactly folkloristic and the theme is transcendent." - The New York Times Book Review "Magic is everywhere in Block's lyrical and resonant fables. At once modern and mythic, her series deserves as much space as it can command of daydream nation's shrinking bookshelves." - The Village Voice   Praise for The Rose and the Beast: Fairy Tales Retold : * "[Block] uses language like a jeweled sword, glittering as it cuts to the heart." - Kirkus Reviews , starred review * "Block sets out to revisit nine fairy tales, filling her stories with gritty, even headline-grabbing issues. The darkness of these conflicts and subjects proves the strength of the magic she describes: the transfiguring power of love." - Publishers Weekly , starred review   Praise for Psyche in a Dress : "It is Block's genius to cast the gods with all their beauty and horror, manipulativeness and self-destructiveness, cruelty and tenderness into a modern society that feels a lot like California. . . . Riveting and brilliant, this is a must for most YA collections." - School Library Journal, Praise for The Island of Excess Love :   "A mesmerizing, magical, and mysterious tale of love and loss, stories and visions, and betrayal and redemption, all told in the author''s signature lyrical voice." - Booklist   "The language and imagery are beautiful but haunting . . . For fans of the first book, this will be a treat." - School Library Journal   Praise for Love in the Time of Global Warming :   * "A post-apocalyptic setting awash with danger brings an exhilarating twist to Block's signature mashup of rock-and-roll urchins and high literature. . . .
