The adults are gone, shooting a movie out of the country and have left Cherokee, Witch Baby, and Raphael in the care of Coyote, their Native American friend. Coyote prefers to be alone, however, and the teenagers are pretty much in charge of themselves. This may be the cause of the mayhem.
First, Witchbaby is sad. She won't leave the mud shed where she keeps her drums. She is covered in mud. She eats it. She pretends she is a seed. Cherokee decides to make her wings. She asks Coyote for help and he calls on the birds to give their feathers. With the wings, Witchbaby rises from the mud and plays the drums at her own birthday party where Angel Juan reappears.
The four teenagers start a band and soon they are getting popular. Cherokee will ask for gifts for each of the Goat Guys but there are some dangerous consequences.
This isn't my favorite Weetzie Bat book. Honestly, I have always found Cherokee a bit annoying. It's still a pretty good read though.
