Description

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 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?
