Basye, Dale E. Heck: Where the Bad Kids Go, 304 p. Random House, 2008.
MS - OPTIONAL
Milton and Marlo have died in a marshmallow explosion. Both of them are sent to Heck, where bad children await their final placing. Milton can't understand why he is in Heck, because he only has one small petty theft on his record - and it was all Marlo's fault in the first place. Both kids are determined to find a way out of Heck.
First let me say that I did enjoy this book and I am going to purchase it for the library. A whole book about Heck and not one questionable word in the entire thing. It had good action, dangerous situations and was a good read. That being said, it definitely has a weird concept of the nature of heaven and "heck". Fewer than two dozen people in the history of the world have made it into heaven, so everyone else, including newborn babies, are stuck in Heck or the other place. That was hard for me to swallow. There was also a significant comment at the beginning of the book that had me believing that the book would be very different than it turned out.
