(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Bob Dob. Milton Fauster attempts to rescue his sister, Marlo, from her "infernship" as Satan's receptionist and save his best friend, Virgil, from Blimpo, the circle of Heck (an underworld reform school) reserved for overweight kids. This third humorous--and sometimes unabashedly corny--send-up of purgatory is fat with witty puns, wordplay, and clever pop-culture references; familiarity with the earlier titles makes this installment more satisfying.
