In the seventh installment of Heck, Dale E. Basye sends Milton and Marlo Fauster to Wise Acres, the circle reserved for kids who sass back. In Wise Acres, the cleverest, snarkiest, put-downiest kids debate and trade insults in Spite Club. But the new vice principal, Lewis Carroll, has some curious plans to raise the profile—and the stakes—of the competition. Now a full-fledged War of the Words will be broadcast through the afterlife. The winner will get the heck out of Heck and go straight to heaven. And the loser? Well, the loser goes down . . . all the way down to the real h-e-double-hockey-sticks. And Milton and Marlo are on opposite teams. Can they find a way out of Lewis Carroll’s mad-as-a-hatter scheme? Or is one Fauster about to pay a permanent visit to the Big Guy Downstairs?

Grades 4-7 Author Basye himself dies (of writer's cramp) and so joins teen protagonists Marlo and Milton Fauster as they discover that mad Vice Principal Lewis Carroll has concocted a scheme to rewrite all of creation using a Tower of Babble. Meanwhile, the Fausters find themselves on rival teams in a reality-game-style War of the Words in the circle of Heck where mouthy kids go and face a string of challenges from a deep sar-chasm to encounters with ravening Where, Who, What, When, and Why Wolves. The series continues to pun-ish readers relentlessly in its seventh episode. Readers will anticipate the eighth circle of Heck.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2013, American Library Association.) -

Marlo and Milton are in wordsmith hell: Vice Principal Lewis Carroll orders all kids to compete in a War of Words, pitting Milton and Marlo against each other. Oscar Wilde coaches the snarky debate team, The Spite Club, and Dorothy Parker and Charles Dickens lend quips and barbs. The latest pun-tastic purgatory spoof is brimming with the series' reliably clever wordplay and wit.(Copyright 2014 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
