In this sixth parody of purgatory, Milton and Marlo are sent to Precocia, where intelligent children grow up too fast. As kids train to work boring grown-up jobs, Marlo and Milton discover a plot to end childhood and transform the living world into a joyless, all-adult society. The witty wordplay will continue to delight fans of this mildly dark but not-too-scary series.
