Will she have to spend eternity in hell with one of Satans minions, a demon named Brad? Brad takes pains to explain that they live in one of hells better neighborhoods, and he seems like a nice enough guy—but still! And things only get worse when Jessica learns the full extent of her mothers evil plans. Can she and Brad come up with a plan to save the world?
These and other pressing questions are all answered in Marilyn Kayes delightfully satirical Demon Chick.
Review
“Kayes book is an imaginative and satirical offering.”—Booklist
“Theres a little political commentary, a little Machiavellianism, a little about responsibility and guilt and loyalty, but the weighty issues are handled with a light touch, thanks to Jessica, whose wry observations and dialogue keep the narrative snappy. And though the premise may be out there, Kayes version of hell makes total sense (an Agatha Christie mystery with the last section ripped out? Perfect). This is one hell worth visiting.”—Horn Book Review
“The story moves quickly, offering a very different view of Hell than readers have ever imagined. Brad and Jessica are entertaining characters, and readers will cheer them on as they attempt to save the world and work through their rocky relationship.”—School Library Journal
