This is the story of Lucy Snow who stumbles into a boarding school for children learning to be mad scientists. There's robots and creepy taxidermy, grave robbing and all sorts of evil experiments going on, but the worst mystery is that when the principal sends children to detention... they never come back! As Lucy strives to pass all her classes, she begins to realize that she will have to escape somehow or be thrown into the mysterious Windmill for detention.

The teachers at the school are so old that they've been stitched up like Frankenstein's monster to keep them alive, giving them a frightening appearance. And all the students at the school are the children of evil scientists and villains, who want their kids to grow up and take over their villainous dynasties. So all the classes are things like Cross-Species Body Part Transplantation and Killer Robot Construction. haha!

Everything in the school is run on steam power or clockwork; even the maids and kitchen staff are steam-powered robots. I love the imaginative classes and world building! The backstory of the principal and the mysterious Windmill has kept me guessing and in suspense. I like the art too!

Lucy is a fun character with lots of pluck and humor, and I think it's completely adorable that she takes her stuffed dinosaur, Dino, with her everywhere! After all, she's only nine years old. Because all the other students are children of villains, Lucy doesn't really make any friends. She can't trust any of those kids! But that doesn't mean she is completely alone. She finds allies in unexpected places, and receives guidance on her mission to escape and maybe liberate the children in detention.

I'm enjoying this great manga and can't wait to read the rest! I mean, it's not mind-blowing or life-changing or anything, but it's fun and entertaining.
