Heck: Where the Bad Kids Go

Heck: Where the Bad Kids Go

When Milton and Marlo Fauster die in a marshmallow-bear explosion, they get sent straight to Heck, an otherworldly reform school. Milton can understand why his kleptomaniac sister is here, but Milton isâ€”or wasâ€”a model citizen. Has a mistake been made? Not according to Bea â€œElsaâ€ Bubb, the Principal of Darkness. She doesnâ€™t make mistakes. She personally sees to it that Heckâ€”whether it be home ec class with Lizzie Borden, ethics with Richard Nixon, or gym with Blackbeard the pirateâ€”is especially, well, heckish for the Fausters. Will Milton and Marlo find a way to escape? Or are they stuck here for all eternity, or until they turn eighteen, whichever comes first?

â˜… â€œThe authorâ€™ umpteen clever allusions . . . make this book truly sparkle.â€â€”Publishers Weekly, Starred
