    About this ebook

    When 5-year-old Kinahran breaks her leg falling off a crate (she was pushed!), she's stuck in her mother's cabin on their clanship -- much to the dismay of both child and mother! Kinahran is bored, unable to play all day with her young friends in the clanship's creche. Intolerable! And it's all her cousin's fault! But she's got a computer, a screwdriver, and a plan... for the Best Revenge.

    Originally published in the fanzine Pawprints, "The Best Revenge" is a science fiction short story suitable for all ages.
