Description
Dale E. Basye sends Milton and Marlo to Precocia, the circle reserved for kids who grow up too fast, for their latest hilarious escapade in Heck.
When Bea "Elsa" Bubb, the Principal of Darkness, tells Milton and Marlo Fauster they've gotten too big for their britches, she sends them to Precocia, the circle of Heck for smartypants kids who grow up too fast. There, the children learn adult jobs. William the Kid teaches bill collection. Mozart teaches commercial jingles. And all the students are forced to act, dress, and talk like little adults. Soon, the Fausters realize that Precocia's vice principals Napoleon and Cleopatra want more than to hasten adulthood—they seem to want to eliminate childhood altogether. Can Milton and Marlo figure out their plan in time to stop it?
Heck is a school in the afterlife where bad kids go for all eternity, or until they turn eighteen, whichever comes first. As in Dante's Inferno, there are nine circles of Heck, based on kids' various vices.

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.(Copyright 2013 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
