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 is—or was—a model citizen. Has a mistake been made? Not according to Bea “Elsa” Bubb, the Principal of Darkness. She doesn’t make mistakes. She personally sees to it that Heck—whether it be home-ec class with Lizzie Borden, ethics with Richard Nixon, or gym with Blackbeard the pirate—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?

    " To be fair, I didn't finish this book. I slogged my way through 150 pages but found it dull and disgusting. I would recommend this book to boys who like gross books. "

    " This started out great. A bratty older sister and her well-behaved younger brother die in a marshmallow bear explosion at the mall and get sent to heck. A great premise, interesting characters, but it lost its way by the end. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Rachel | 1/27/2011

    " Pretty cute young adult fiction with the same sort of sarcasm and tongue-in-cheek approach as Lemony Snicket, if he were mimicking Dante. "
