(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Bob Dob. After eleven-year-old Milton Fauster and his kleptomaniac sister die in a marshmallow explosion at the mall, they find themselves in Heck, an Underworld reform school. Principal Bea "Elsa" Bubb thwarts their escape attempts; only blameless Milton makes it out. Though some of the many clever allusions will likely go over their heads, readers will doubtless respond to the story's overall humor.
