In this fifth of Basye's spoofs on purgatory, the Grin Reaper guides Milton Fauster and his sister, Marlo, to Snivel, a mosquito-ridden, rain-plagued camp for crybabies and the perpetually unhappy. But when the camp's depressed denizens--Marlo included--begin to disappear, Milton sets out to find them. The book's constant clever wordplay and witty references will make happy campers out of readers.
