Dale E. Basye sends Milton and Marlo to Snivel, the circle reserved for crybabies, for their latest hilarious escapade in Heck. Snivel is a camp—a bummer camp—a dismal place where it's always raining, and Unhappy Campers are besieged by swarms of strange mosquitoes that suck the color right out of them. Soon the Fausters discover that some Unhappy Campers have been disappearing. So after Marlo gets chosen for a special project and never comes back, Milton makes up his mind to find her and all the missing children.
Can Milton find his sister and get the heck out of Snivel? With the help of some new friends, his pet ferret, and Vincent Van Gogh's ear, he just might have a chance.

      Grades 4-7 Dead sibs Milton Fauster and his goth big sister, Marlo, save the world againthis time from a scheme by mad scientist Nikola Tesla to power a return to life with the souls of unsuspecting video-gamers. Along the way, Milton and Marlo also help to scotch nemesis Bea Elsa Bubb's plot to replace Satan as the chief of H-E-double-hockey-sticks, but are consigned for the next episode to Precocia, a circle where they will have to be premature adults. As usual, there's quick action amid a relentless barrage of puns, double entendres, and shtick with, plainly, more to come.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)

      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.
