02.28: Dale Basye
2013-01-15 02:38:00| Powells Books Events Calendar
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? Precocia: The Sixth Circle of Heck (Random House) is Dale Basye's latest hilarious escapade into the nine circles of Heck.
