Editorial Review:
Product 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 “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 18, whichever comes first?

- Fantastic!I thought this was a great and very enjoyable book! I can't wait for the next one. It's got a fun premise and graphic descriptions of Heck. I love how the siblings really start to see life from each other's sides and start to bond even after being seperated in Heck, and I think it's a fun read for anyone looking for a good story!

- A Wonderful Book for ALL AgesSo I saw this book advertised in a few of my monthly comic books and, knowing that a certain 12 year old at my job has trouble finding books to read and earn her necessary Accelerated Reader points at school, I bought this one. What other readers wrote is certainly true, she didn't, and most kids like her probably won't, 'get' the deepest inside jokes, but she did finish the book and made a 100 on the test at school. I read the book next, and I always enjoy reading kids books. I'm 32 and let me ... Read More

- Oh Heck ya!I got interested in the book by seeing the ad in MAD magazine, I am a sucker for comics and well drawn "comicky" stuff. I checked out the website and liked it too. So I went ahead and bought the book, the book is a little slow to start but after the first few chapters it picks up and is a fun ride. My thoughts are Dale wrote the book to entertain himself more than his readers, even so I enjoyed it and will be waiting for the sequel.

- Wonderful, well-written storyDante would have been loved HECK! I found this book charming, witty, and very well-written. Adults will enjoy reading it along with their kids, since there are plenty of jokes and clever allusions for everyone to appreciate. Of course, since I'm no longer in the fourth grade, the bathroom humor got a little old after a while. But then, kids these days may not get the Nixon-era humor, which gave me a few laughs. The illustrations are great, the characters are very engaging, and the action never stops. ... Read More

- What the Heck!This book is completely out there. I mean your imagination gets a full course meal with this one. It is so vividly written I have a very clear view of what Milton and Marlo are seeing, smelling, tasting. And yuck is what I think, but yuck in a very, very good way.
