Review: Misfits and Ingenious Clockwork - Short Story
Rating: 5 out of 5

A delightful readI was concerned at first that the story was going to be horribly gruesome.  After all, the man who runs the orphanage is as vile and sadistic as they come.  Fortunately, he and everyone else underestimate the skill and determination of his wards.  So, is it gruesome?  If you're amazingly girly, yes.  In that case, stick to your Nancy Drew.  But if you get a kick out of early Heinlein, like the idea of working with the system to defeat the system, and delight in right over might, this could be the short story for you.
