Blimpo: The Third Circle of Heck
Book 3: Heck Series
What's the Story?
Welcome to Blimpo, where the, um, plump kids go.
After his second escape from Bea "Elsa" Bubb, the Principal of Darkness, Milton Fauster makes his way to Blimpo—the circle of the otherworldly reform school, Heck, where he's sure his friend Virgil is sentenced. What Milton finds in Blimpo horrifies him. The overweight dead kids spend most of their time running on giant human hamster wheels called DREADmills that detect and exploit their deepest fears. The rest they spend eating Hambone Hank's barbecue—mystery meat that is delicious, but suspiciously (to Milton, anyway) haunting. Every classroom has a huge TV screen showing happy thin people who taunt Blimpo residents with a perfection they will never attain.
Meanwhile, at her new job in the devil's Infernship program, Milton's sister, Marlo, knows all about trying to achieve perfection. And failing miserably. Can Milton get himself and Virgil out of Blimpo in time to rescue Marlo, too? Or is Fauster the next delicacy on Bea "Elsa" Bubb's menu?
What's the Buzz?
"I read this series for the pure fun of it and for Basye the third time is the charm. Blimpo is the best book yet of this series." - Novels Now
"Basye is doing an excellent job of keeping this series funny, entertaining, exciting and thought- provoking. One thing I really like, each book answers the initial questions it sets out to answer. As the series continues its getting more involved, in a very good way." - The Happy Nappy Bookseller
"I thought that it was a grand sequel to a budding series... The writing isn't fading, as so often happens in many series. If anything it's gotten stronger." - FlamingNet
"Any reader can relate to each sibling’s struggle with identity and the quest to do something more with what life may have preordained for you." - Kids Reads
"The Milton and Marlo that you've grown to love in the first two books are back in full force, and the settings and cast of secondary characters are impressive (as usual). Basye even had the cajones to add a special appearance that caught me off guard and left me cheering - I know you'll be surprised too." - Kinderscares
